Collector's info: In 1975 Columbia Records released this double disc, which held treasures for the fans of Janis Joplin. The treasures were the glimpses of her live work with the Kozmic Blues Band plus a bonus LP containing 17 previously unreleased folk tracks entitled "Early Performances." The folk material on the second disc is really special -- a loose New Orleans style band with horns, harmonica, and that distinctive voice going through "Silver Threads & Golden Needles," "Walk Right In," and other bluesy tunes, Janis Joplin covering Dusty Springfield and the Rooftop Singers in an extraordinary way. |
