Blue
Used - LP - MS 2038
1977 US gatefold reissue; LA pressing with the Warner Brothers company poly inner sleeve. Light ring wear. "Sad, spare, and beautiful, Blue is the quintessential confessional singer/songwriter album. Forthright and poetic, Joni Mitchell's songs are raw nerves, tales of love and loss (two words with relative meaning here) etched with stunning complexity; even tracks like "All I Want," "My Old Man," and "Carey" -- the brightest, most hopeful moments on the record -- are darkened by bittersweet moments of sorrow and loneliness. At the same time that songs like "Little Green" (about a child given up for adoption) and the title cut (a hymn to salvation supposedly penned for James Taylor) raise the stakes of confessional folk-pop to new levels of honesty and openness, Mitchell's music moves beyond the constraints of acoustic folk into more intricate and diverse territory, setting the stage for the experimentation of her later work. Unrivaled in its intensity and insight, Blue remains a watershed. All Music Guide - Jason Ankeny

Court And Spark
New Import - 81227986186
Sealed 2013 180gm Vinyl Pressing, Housed In Gatefold Jacket. Remaster Cut From The Original Analogue Masters. Manufactured In Germany. "Joni Mitchell Reached Her Commercial High Point With Court And Spark, A Remarkably Deft Fusion Of Folk, Pop, And Jazz Which Stands As Her Best-selling Work To Date. While As Unified And Insightful As Blue, The Album -- A Concept Record Exploring The Roles Of Honesty And Trust In Relationships, Romantic And Otherwise -- Moves Away From Confessional Songwriting Into Evocative Character Studies: The Hit "Free Man In Paris," Written About David Geffen, Is A Not-so-subtle Dig At The Machinations Of The Music Industry, While "Raised On Robbery" Offers An Acutely Funny Look At The Predatory Environment Of The Singles Bar Scene. Much Of Court And Spark Is Devoted To Wary Love Songs: Both The Title Cut And "Help Me," The Record's Most Successful Single, Carefully Measure The Risks Of Romance, While "People's Parties" And "The Same Situation" Are Fraught With Worry And Self-doubt (Standing In Direct Opposition To The Music, Which Is Smart, Smooth, And Assured From The First Note To The Last)."

For The Roses
Used - LP - SD 5057
1975 US reissue; Clouds label with Warner logo in rim text.Original in uni-pack style gatefold cover. VG++/EX jacket. "On For the Roses, Joni Mitchell began to explore jazz and other influences in earnest. As one might expect from a transitional album, there is a lot of stylistic ground explored, including straight folk selections using guitar ("For the Roses") and piano ("Banquet," "See You Sometime," "Lesson in Survival") overtly jazzy numbers ("Barangrill," "Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire," and hybrids that cross the two "Let the Wind Carry Me," "Electricity," "Woman of Heart and Mind," "Judgment of the Moon and Stars"). "Blonde in the Bleachers" grafts a rock & roll band coda onto a piano-based singer/songwriter main body. The hit single "You Turn Me on I'm a Radio" is an unusual essay into country-tinged pop, sporting a Dylanesque harmonica solo played by Graham Nash and lush backing vocals. Arrangements here build solidly upon the tentative expansion of scoring first seen in Ladies of the Canyon. "Judgment of the Moon and Stars" and "Let the Wind Carry Me" present lengthy instrumental interludes. The lyrics here are among Mitchell's best, continuing in the vein of gripping honesty and heartfelt depth exhibited on Blue. As always, there are selections about relationship problems, such as "Lesson in Survival," "See You Sometime," and perhaps the best of all her songs in this genre, "Woman of Heart and Mind." "Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire" presents a gritty inner-city survival scene, while "Barangrill" winsomely extols the uncomplicated virtues of a roadside truck stop. More than a bridge between great albums, this excellent disc is a top-notch listen in its own right." All Music Guide - David Cleary

Hejira
New - LP - RCV1 1087
Sealed 2024 180gm remastered reissue. Mitchell's exquisite exploration of love, longing and the open road. Remastering by Bernie Grundman under the supervision of Joni. "Joni Mitchell's Hejira is the last in an astonishingly long run of top-notch studio albums dating back to her debut. Some vestiges of her old style remain here; "Song for Sharon" utilizes the static, pithy vocal harmonies from Ladies of the Canyon's "Woodstock," "Refuge of the Roads" features woodwind touches reminiscent of those in "Barangrill" from For the Roses, and "Coyote" is a fast guitar-strummed number that has precedents as far back as Clouds' "Chelsea Morning." But by and large, this release is the most overtly jazz-oriented of her career up to this point -- hip and cool, but never smug or icy. "Blue Motel Room" in particular is a prototypic slow jazz-club combo number, appropriately smooth, smoky, and languorous. "Coyote," "Black Crow," and the title track are by contrast energetically restless fast-tempo selections. The rest of the songs here cleverly explore variants on mid- to slow-tempo approaches. None of these cuts are traditionally tuneful in the manner of Mitchell's older folk efforts; the effect here is one of subtle rolls and ridges on a green meadow rather than the outgoing beauty of a flower garden. Mitchell's verses, many concerned with character portraits, are among the most polished of her career; the most striking of these studies are that of the decrepit Delta crooner of "Furry Sings the Blues" and the ambivalent speaker of "Song to Sharon," who has difficulty choosing between commitment and freedom. Arrangements are sparse, yet surprisingly varied, the most striking of which is the kaleidoscopically pointillistic one used on "Amelia." Performances are excellent, with special kudos reserved for Jaco Pastorius' melodic bass playing on "Refuge of the Roads" and the title cut. This excellent album is a rewarding listen."

Hejira
New - LP - R1 01087
Sealed 2014 180gm Gatefold Reissue With Custom Hype Sticker On Shrink. “Joni Mitchell's Hejira Is The Last In An Astonishingly Long Run Of Top-Notch Studio Albums Dating Back To Her Debut. Some Vestiges Of Her Old Style Remain Here; "Song For Sharon" Utilizes The Static, Pithy Vocal Harmonies From Ladies Of The Canyon's "Woodstock," "Refuge Of The Roads" Features Woodwind Touches Reminiscent Of Those In "Barangrill" From For The Roses, And "Coyote" Is A Fast Guitar-Strummed Number That Has Precedents As Far Back As Clouds' "Chelsea Morning." But By And Large, This Release Is The Most Overtly Jazz-Oriented Of Her Career Up To This Point -- Hip And Cool, But Never Smug Or Icy. "Blue Motel Room" In Particular Is A Prototypic Slow Jazz-Club Combo Number, Appropriately Smooth, Smoky, And Languorous. "Coyote," "Black Crow," And The Title Track Are By Contrast Energetically Restless Fast-Tempo Selections. The Rest Of The Songs Here Cleverly Explore Variants On Mid- To Slow-Tempo Approaches. None Of These Cuts Are Traditionally Tuneful In The Manner Of Mitchell's Older Folk Efforts; The Effect Here Is One Of Subtle Rolls And Ridges On A Green Meadow Rather Than The Outgoing Beauty Of A Flower Garden. Mitchell's Verses, Many Concerned With Character Portraits, Are Among The Most Polished Of Her Career; The Most Striking Of These Studies Are That Of The Decrepit Delta Crooner Of "Furry Sings The Blues" And The Ambivalent Speaker Of "Song To Sharon," Who Has Difficulty Choosing Between Commitment And Freedom. Arrangements Are Sparse, Yet Surprisingly Varied, The Most Striking Of Which Is The Kaleidoscopically Pointillistic One Used On "Amelia." Performances Are Excellent, With Special Kudos Reserved For Jaco Pastorius' Melodic Bass Playing On "Refuge Of The Roads" And The Title Cut. This Excellent Album Is A Rewarding Listen. “ David Cleary, AMG.

Joni Mitchell
Used - LP - R 6293
1968 Mono White Label Promo Housed In A Gatefold Cover With Promo Sticker. B1/A1 Stampers. The Side Two Label Has A Couple Of Spindle Lines, But Both Record Surfaces Are Glossy And Unmarked. “Joni Mitchell's Debut Release Is A Concept Album. Side One, Subtitled "I Came To The City," Generally Exhibits Songs About Urban Subjects That Are Often Dour Or Repressed In Some Way. "Out Of The City And Down To The Seaside," By Contrast, Is A Celebration Of Nature And Countryside, Mostly Containing Selections Of A Charming, Positive, Or More Outgoing Nature. What Sets This Release Apart From Those Of Other Confession-Style Singer/Songwriters Of The Time Is The Craft, Subtlety, And Evocative Power Of Mitchell's Lyrics And Harmonic Style. Numbers Such As "Marcie," "Michael From Mountains," "The Dawntreader," And "The Pirate Of Penance" Effectively Utilize Sophisticated Chord Progressions Rarely Found In This Genre. Verses Are Substantive And Highly Charged, Exhibiting Careful Workmanship. "Song To A Seagull" Has Graceful And Vivid Lyrics About The Joys Of Freedom Set To A Haunting, Wide-Ranging Vocal Line. Conversely, "Cactus Tree" Explores The Downside Of A No-Strings-Attached Approach To Life, The Fear Of Committing To A Relationship (Ironically Wedding These Words To A Hopeful Melody And Pulsating Guitar Texture). "Marcie" Utilizes Poignant, Twisting Music Set To Desolately Lonely Lyrics About A Jilted Woman; The Recurrent Use Of Red And Green Imagery In The Verses Is Especially Clever. Character Studies Such As "I Had A King" And "Nathan La Franeer" Are Painfully Bleak In Contrast To The Lithe Domestic Scene Of "Sisotowbell Lane" And The Winsomely Reserved Love Song "Michael From Mountains." Unusual In Her Oeuvre Are The Overlapping Dialogue Prose Manner Of "The Pirate Of Penance" And The Jaunty Honky Tonk Stylings Of "Night In The City." Mitchell Sings In A Light, Gossamer, At Times Diffident Manner; Vocal Harmony Is Sparingly Employed Here. David Crosby's Production Is Simple And Effective. This Excellent Debut Is Well Worth Hearing.” David Cleary, All Music Guide.

Mingus
New - LP - R1 505
Sealed 2024 180gm remastered reissue. Housed in a gatefold jacket with custom hype sticker. Mitchell's mesmerizing collaboration with the legendary Charles Mingus. Remastering by Bernie Grundman under the supervision of Joni Mitchell. "In the months prior to the passing of legendary jazz bassist Charles Mingus, Joni Mitchell had been personally summoned by the bop pioneer to collaborate on a musical version of T.S. Eliot's Four Quartets. The project would entail Mitchell to condense the text for Mingus to score instrumentally. He planned on utilizing a full orchestra, as well as the more traditional guitar and bass. They would accompany Mitchell's vocals and the narration of selected portions of the text. After a few weeks of consideration, Mitchell's reaction was that "[she]'d rather condense the bible." Mingus then bestowed Mitchell with six melodies -- "Joni I" through "Joni VI" -- penned specifically for her. Mitchell spent a few weeks with Mingus -- who was totally immobilized from amyotropic lateral sclerosis (aka Lou Gehrig's Disease) -- during the spring of 1978. Their partnership advanced the half-dozen tunes. More importantly, it shook Mitchell from a three-month long writer's block/drought -- yielding two of her best late-'70s compositions: "God Must Be a Boogie Man" and the revisitation and completion of a track she'd been wood-shedding, now titled "The Wolf That Lives in Lindsey." Incidentally, the former piece was inspired by the opening chapters of Mingus' autobiography, Beneath the Underdog. Initial recordings during Mitchell's stay with Mingus in New York City produced several interesting experimental sessions with the likes of Stanley Clarke (bass), Jan Hammer (keyboards), John McLaughlin (guitar), Gerry Mulligan (baritone sax), and Tony Williams (drums). A few of these recordings -- while rumored to have been lost, destroyed, or made otherwise unavailable -- were leaked into the trading community in the late '90s. Arguably, Mitchell could not have chosen any finer musicians than the sextet she ultimately incorporated into this work. The luminaries include Herbie Hancock (electric piano), Wayne Shorter (soprano sax), Jaco Pastorious (bass/horn arrangements), Peter Erskine (drums), Don Alias (congas), and Emil Richards (percussion). Sprinkled amongst these soulfully jazzy pieces are five "raps," or aural snapshots of the time Mitchell and Mingus spent together. Sadly, Charles Mingus passed before he was able to listen to this timeless and ageless paean to his remarkable contributions to bop and free jazz." All Music Guide - Lindsay Planer.

Shadows And Light
Used - LP - BB-704
1980 2LP Clouds Label Embossed Gatefold Columbia House Club Pressing. Still Has Original Custom Black Inner Sleeves. Features Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Jaco Pastorius And Mike Brecker. Recorded Live At The Santa Barbara County Bowl. 1A/1A/1A/1A Stampers. VG+ Copy, With Few Light Edge And Cover Rubs. "Shadows And Light Is Joni Mitchell's Second Live Album, And It Serves As A Good Retrospective Of Her Jazzy Period From 1975-1979. As Expected, She Assembles A Group Of All-star Musicians Including Pat Metheny (Guitar), Jaco Pastorius (Bass), Lyle Mays (Keyboards), And Michael Brecker (Saxophone) Who Give These Compositions More Energy Than On The Studio Recordings. The Musicians Are Given Room To Jam, And They Sound Terrific On Uptempo Songs Such As "Coyote" And "In France They Kiss On Main Street." If There Is A General Theme Of These Songs, It's About Growing Older And Maturing After The Failed Idealism Of The Late '60s (The Album Opens With Audio Clips From The Movie Rebel Without A Cause). Although This Album Is Pleasing, The Live Arrangements Are Not Different Enough From The Studio Versions To Warrant Higher Marks. In Fact, Mitchell Has Always Been An Album Artist Who Recorded Studio Albums That Had A Sound And Feel All Their Own. While Shadows And Light Provides A Nice Summary Of Her Experimental Period For Casual Fans, Interested Listeners Should Start With Hejira Or The Hissing Of Summer Lawns." AMG Review By Vik Iyengar.

Song To A Seagull
New - LP - RS 6293
Sealed 1968 pressing housed in gatefold cover. Saw cut. This Debut features Steven Stills on bass and produced by David Crosby and showcases her incredible talent as both a songwriter and a musician. The album is a masterclass in folk music, with Mitchell's delicate guitar playing and stunning vocals perfectly complementing her introspective and poetic lyrics.
The album's opening track, "I Had A King," sets the tone for the rest of the record with its haunting melody and emotionally charged lyrics. From there, Mitchell takes listeners on a journey through a range of emotions, from the heartbreak of "Michael From Mountains" to the joyous celebration of love in "Marcie."
Overall, "Song To A Seagull" is a breathtaking debut that established Mitchell as one of the most important voices in folk music. Her ability to craft beautiful, introspective songs that resonate with listeners on a deep emotional level is unparalleled, and this album is a testament to her incredible talent.

Song To A Seagull
Used - LP - RS 6293
1970 Gatefold pressing (All Tan, One Tone Steamboat Label) in shrink. "Joni Mitchell's debut release is a concept album. Side one, subtitled "I Came to the City," generally exhibits songs about urban subjects that are often dour or repressed in some way. "Out of the City and Down to the Seaside," by contrast, is a celebration of nature and countryside, mostly containing selections of a charming, positive, or more outgoing nature. What sets this release apart from those of other confession-style singer/songwriters of the time is the craft, subtlety, and evocative power of Mitchell's lyrics and harmonic style. Numbers such as "Marcie," "Michael From Mountains," "The Dawntreader," and "The Pirate of Penance" effectively utilize sophisticated chord progressions rarely found in this genre. Verses are substantive and highly charged, exhibiting careful workmanship. "Song to a Seagull" has graceful and vivid lyrics about the joys of freedom set to a haunting, wide-ranging vocal line. Conversely, "Cactus Tree" explores the downside of a no-strings-attached approach to life, the fear of committing to a relationship (ironically wedding these words to a hopeful melody and pulsating guitar texture). "Marcie" utilizes poignant, twisting music set to desolately lonely lyrics about a jilted woman; the recurrent use of red and green imagery in the verses is especially clever. Character studies such as "I Had a King" and "Nathan la Franeer" are painfully bleak in contrast to the lithe domestic scene of "Sisotowbell Lane" and the winsomely reserved love song "Michael From Mountains." Unusual in her oeuvre are the overlapping dialogue prose manner of "The Pirate of Penance" and the jaunty honky tonk stylings of "Night in the City." Mitchell sings in a light, gossamer, at times diffident manner; vocal harmony is sparingly employed here. David Crosby's production is simple and effective. This excellent debut is well worth hearing." AMG - David Cleary

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns
New - LP - RR1 1051
Sealed 2023 180gm remastered reissue housed in a gatefold with cutsom hype sticker. Remastering by Bernie Grundman under Joni's supervision. “Joni Mitchell Evolved From The Smooth Jazz-Pop Of Court And Spark To The Radical Hissing Of Summer Lawns, An Adventurous Work That Remains Among Her Most Difficult Records. After Opening With The Graceful "In France They Kiss On Main Street," The Album Veers Sharply Into "The Jungle Line," An Odd, Moog-Driven Piece Backed By The Rhythms Of The Warrior Drums Of Burundi — A Move Into Multiculturalism That Beat The Likes Of Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, And Sting To The Punch By A Decade. While Not As Prescient, Songs Like "Edith And The Kingpin" And "Harry's House — Centerpiece" Are No Less Complex Or Idiosyncratic, Employing Minor-Key Melodies And Richly Detailed Lyrics To Arrive At A Strange And Beautiful Fusion Of Jazz And Shimmering Avant Pop.” All Music Guide - Jason Ankeny.

The Hissing Of Summer Lawns
New - LP - 7E-1051
Sealed 1975 embossed gatefold original. Tiny say cut. “Joni Mitchell evolved from the smooth jazz-pop of "Court And Spark" to the radical hissing of summer lawns, an adventurous work that remains among her most difficult records. After opening with the graceful "In France They Kiss On Main Street", the album veers sharply into "The Jungle Line", an odd, moog-driven piece backed by the rhythms of the warrior drums of burundi — a move into multiculturalism that beat the likes of Paul Simon & Peter Gabriel to the punch by a decade. While not as prescient, songs like "Edith And The Kingpin" and "Harry's House - Centerpiece" are no less complex or idiosyncratic, employing minor-key melodies and richly detailed lyrics to arrive at a strange and beautiful fusion of jazz and shimmering avant pop.” AMG - Jason Ankney.
