Description
Cut from tapes spanning A&M Studios with Henry Lewy and stages shared with the L.A. Express, this 4LP window into Joni Mitchell’s Asylum stretch feels intimate and revealing. Joni Mitchell - Archives - Volume 3: The Asylum Years (1972-1975) gathers early versions of Help Me and Free Man in Paris, plus an early reading of Court and Spark that shows the song’s bones. You also get L.A. Express-era live moments that add grit to the polish. Spread over four LPs, the mastering opens up the space, and the low end sits deeper without smearing. Sessions and broadcast tapes sit alongside stage recordings, so you can trace the move from For the Roses austerity into the jazz-curious architecture of The Hissing of Summer Lawns. Tom Scott and the L.A. Express color the picture without crowding her phrasing. If you’d rather order online, you can buy Joni Mitchell records online with us. For Melbourne shelves, it belongs right alongside Carole King’s early 70s songbooks, but the jazz lean here is more exploratory and conversational. Packaging matches the care, with archival notes, period photos, and a sequence that flows like a lost studio album rather than a dump of outtakes. It’s a generous, replayable document of a restless few years.
Shop online or dig for it in our Preston store while stock lasts.
