Reviews

Does anyone know the best digital version of this album? The Cd version I have (from Original Album Classics) is very poor and harsh. But it does not sound better on either Spotify of Amazon Music (HD). They all seem to be using the same source.

And while I'm here.......... Write to Sony. Tell them to get off there ass and remix this LP from the 16 multitrack tape..... Ask for Mark Wilder. It's 2020 it's now the 50 th anniversary of this amazing album her best I think and not a damn thing has been done with it except released it in 1970............... I'm sorry for a artist on Columbia letting a work go like this un noticed... Tell to give Janis Joplin a break. ( Pure Pleasure Records they used a 2nd generation analogue tape copy from the UK. That's not what needs to be done here )
