Thanks Chromatica. There’s already been this dedicated thread here with plenty of amazing clips. Joni Mitchell performs at the Newport Folk Festival 2022 - yes, you read that right! Please direct all Newport discussion to that thread and make way for some box set news here soon.
Hissing has always been my favorite JM album, so I am really looking forward to this next JMA release!
Maybe not entire unseen - Lista | 15 músicos pintores - NOIZE | Música do site à revista But beautiful to see in such quality!
Ahh very interesting. I see that painting was briefly up on the CBC’s website back in 2013. Not to mention the Beginning of Survival album package.
I'm a little envious of people who may be discovering this music for the first time......what a world they are stepping into to. I remember hearing all my Joni albums for the first time - starting with Ladies Of The Canyon
1972-1975 is the Asylum albums part I, I suppose.... which means only 3 studio albums and Miles Of Aisles (am I right?).... and lots of other Asylum albums left out, in fact probably too many for just another boxset.... EDIT: no, there are 3 more studio albums and one live album on Asylum so they should fit another boxset fine.
JONI MITCHELL THE ASYLUM ALBUMS (1972-1975) Joni Mitchell Archives Series Continues With New Boxed Set Featuring Remastered Versions Of For The Roses, Court And Spark, The Hissing Of Summer Lawns, And The Double Live Album, Miles Of Aisles 4-CD, 5-LP, And Digital Versions Available September 23 From Rhino Newly Remastered Version Of “Turn Me On I’m A Radio” Available Today Digitally LISTEN NOW LOS ANGELES – Joni Mitchell was at a turning point 50 years ago. After making four acclaimed albums with Reprise Records, including her 1971 masterpiece Blue, she left the label to join the brand-new Asylum Records in 1972. Over the next seven years, Mitchell would record some of the most acclaimed music of her career while changing her musical direction by adding more jazz elements into her songwriting. The evolution culminated in 1979 with Mingus, her collaboration with jazz titan Charles Mingus, and her studio last album for Asylum. Rhino explores the beginning of that prolific era with THE ASYLUM ALBUMS (1972-1975), the next installment in the Joni Mitchell Archives series. The collection features newly remastered versions of For The Roses (1972), Court And Spark (1974), the double live album Miles Of Aisles (1974), and The Hissing Of Summer Lawns (1975). All four were recently remastered by Bernie Grundman. THE ASYLUM ALBUMS (1972-1975) will be available on September 23 in 4-CD and 5-LP 180-gram vinyl (Limited Edition Of 20,000) versions, as well as digitally. The newly remastered version of “Turn Me On I’m A Radio” from For The Roses is available today on all digital download and streaming services. Click HERE to listen now. The cover art for THE ASYLUM ALBUMS (1972-1975) features a painting by Mitchell. The set also includes an essay by friend and fellow Canadian Neil Young. He writes: “Joni’s music is so deep and transporting. She comes right from the source. There is no mistaking it…For The Roses, Court And Spark, Miles Of Aisles, and The Hissing Of Summer Lawns…are all classics in my book. I listened to every album as it came out. The musicians she played with were always above my abilities. She had grown from folk to jazz and in between, creating a unique kind of sound that I loved to listen to over and over.” Fans that pre-order the CD or LP version of THE ASYLUM ALBUMS (1972-1975) from JoniMitchell.com will also receive an exclusive, limited edition 7” x 10” of the painting on the cover of the box. THE ASYLUM ALBUMS (1972-1975) follows Mitchell’s musical evolution over four albums as she embraced more jazz-inspired pieces and moved away from the folk and pop of her early years. It includes essential tracks like her first Top 40 hit, “You Turn Me On, I’m A Radio” and her highest-charting (#7) single “Help Me,” plus favorites like “Free Man In Paris,” “Raised On Robbery” and “In France They Kiss On Main Street.” For The Roses, which was released 50 years ago this November, was certified gold and added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry in 2007. Court And Spark topped the U.S. album chart and was certified double platinum, making it the best-selling album of Mitchell’s career. It was nominated for multiple GrammyÒ Awards, including Album of the Year, and won Best Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist for “Down To You.” Miles Of Aisles is a double live album that spotlights the tour for Court And Spark. It reached #2 on the album chart and was certified gold. The Hissing Of Summer Lawns was certified gold as well, peaking at #4 on the album chart and earning a GrammyÒ Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. The new collection heralds the upcoming release of JONI MITCHELL ARCHIVES VOL. 3, which will arrive next year. It will be the third installment in the comprehensive archival series exploring different eras of Mitchell’s celebrated career through unreleased studio and live recordings. VOL. 3 will focus on the timeframe when she recorded the albums included in THE ASYLUM ALBUMS (1972-1975). Mitchell continues to be intimately involved in producing these collections, lending her vision and personal touch to every element of the projects. Future releases in the archive series will arrive in a similar manner, with a boxed set focused on studio albums from a specific era, followed by an official “Archives” release looking at unreleased audio from the same period.

Uk exchange rate is murdering you guys right now, British Pound has plummeted in recent weeks. It wouldn't be a bad idea to keep an eye on Amazon Canada, there have been significantly lower prices. I bought the first LP box for $106 Canadian, which would be 67£, and the shipping from Amazon should not be not too crazy. I've done the reverse, ordering from the UK when the situation warrants it. The Reprise Albums (1968-1971) (Vinyl)
What about the quadraphonic mixes of Court & Spark and Hissing? I would’ve liked to see those in there on a DVD or Blu-Ray.
Joni’s store seems to be having issues. Only the CD is showing as available to purchase for me right now; the other two options are not and are showing as “null”.
