Free Music Review: Janis' Best Work
Hit: 5 Stars
As Janis' first mainstream outing, I believe that this album is the finest of her career. You can feel the enthusiasm between the band personnel in the all out "balls to the wall" drive of the music.
Done before the influence of the monied producers, you will hear a miracle. Artists doing what they love.
Free Music Review: I'll Make You Feel Like You Want to Own Me ....
Hit: 5 Stars
How do you 'rate' your long-gone youth? I still have the original 33 rpm purchased way back then and play it every so often. I have always feared that something would happen to the album and the music would be lost for good. I love the CD, the sound etc... is excellent - but of course I am used to listening the the original. I cranked my CD player up and I was in Seventh Heaven, moving and singing along with Janis. This has been one of my absolute top favs since it was released. Be proud sad little girl from Port Arthur, we haven't forgotten you and you will always be special to us. You made your mark and it is here to stay.Free Music Review: Janis Joplin defined -- her BEST album!
Hit: 5 Stars
I'll spare you all the technical details to just say that THIS is the Janis Joplin album that you want if you are only going to own one of her recordings.
Here, you'll get the true, raw Janis Joplin with the band that matched her best of all. The know-it-alls at the studios were always trying to separate her from Big Brother and the Holding Company, supposedly because they were not "professional" enough. Bullcrap!
This is the single beauty of retrospect. This compendium of her songs simply blows "Pearl" away. Her later bands and releases were WAY too superficial and polished to achieve the great rock guttral ambiance that Big Brother yielded.
Just take a listen to "I Need A Man to Love" -- the opening will give you a sense of the entire work. It just bowls me over every time I hear it. I've been a rock guitar player for 40 years and Big Brother did some fine work... and Janis was the perfect complement to their Woodstock-era excellence.
Buy this one -- you'll not be disappointed.

This is a replacement for my original cd that skipped on one of
the tracks. The extra tracks were a pleasant bonus.

To bad that most people have never heard Janis singing the classic song 'Summertime.' The soul and emotion in that song is classic blues at its BEST! And the rest of the album only confirms that Janis and Big Brother were a once in a time magical musical experience that will never be equaled in intensity and pure performance quality!!!!
