Joni Mitchell Archives Vol. 2 - Reprise Years 1968-1971
Joni Mitchell
5 CDs of the finest, most intimate, surprising, and captivating content from Joni's unmined 1968-1971 Archives.
Previously Unreleased:

BBC Radio Broadcast with James Taylor
Book with Archival Photos and Cameron Crowe in conversation with Joni Mitchell, featuring Joni's newly recorded thoughts and reflections
The tracks on Archives Vol II have been sequenced chronologically to follow Mitchell in real time through one of the most creative periods of her career. The collection uncovers several unreleased Mitchell originals, including "Jesus" recorded in 1969 at her friend Jane Lurie's New York apartment in Chelsea, which also served as the setting for the song "Chelsea Morning."
Other highlights include Mitchell's performance at Le Hibou Coffee House in Ottawa on March 19, 1968 that was recorded by Jimi Hendrix and a concert at the Paris Theatre in London on October 29, 1970 that was broadcast on the BBC. The latter includes several songs destined to appear on Blue the following year: "Carey," "River" and "My Old Man." In addition, singer-songwriter James Taylor joined Mitchell to perform with her during the second half of the show.
