Description: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) follows Mitchellâ??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. The cover art for THE ASYLUM ALBUMS (1972-1975) features a previously unseen painting by Mitchell. The set also includes an essay by friend and fellow Canadian Neil Young. He writes: â??Joniâ??s music is so deep and transporting. She comes right from the source. There is no mistaking itâ?¦For The Roses, Court And Spark, Miles Of Aisles, and The Hissing Of Summer Lawnsâ?¦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.â? - ..

What a great boxset collection at a [then] affordable price. The pressing quality is top, the album art reproduction is at its finest, and the music is ethereal. Alas, due to long transportation and vinyl heavy weight, the upper spines arrive damaged.

Eine attraktiv und von der Künstlerin grafisch gestaltete Box zu einem akzeptablen Preis, das sind JONI Mitchell s Asylum Alben mit u.a. COURT and SPARK und THE HISSING OF SUMMER LAWNS. Wirklich sauber gepresstes Vinyl, keinesfalls eine Selbstverständlichkeit, sowie den Original Ausgaben exakt nachempfundene Cover. Das bedeutet das Gimmicks wie die erhaben gedruckten Grafiken und Schriftzüge auch exakt nachgebildet wurden. Strukturoberflächen dito. Klanglich hat Joni's Lieblings-Cutter, der große Bernie Grundmann ,die Umschnitte vorgenommen. Zwar nicht All Analog sondern mit zuhilfename von digital-files, aber doch überzeugend in seiner klanglichen Güte. Sehr sauber ist das gefertigt ,so wie man es von RHINO gewohnt ist. Eine überzeugende Ausgabe ,wenn auch ohne BOOKLET.
