Hejira, the album after HOSL is fantastic. Absolutely one of her best. Look forward to seeing your review if you pick it up!

@@PiecesofVinyl The version in the new Asylum years 76-80 is excellent. The other discs are really interesting too. Hejira is peak Joni though.

I saw comments on Reddit saying that the lack of extras on the Joni record is at her request.

That is interesting - I considered something like that in place of extra artwork since she does art herself and designed the cover. But I wonder why she would be against a booklet?

Been a fan of Hejira for a while, but I've just discovered the brilliance of this record. Holy s**t, what a masterpiece. I might just pick up a copy of this pressing. The Speaker's Corner cut by KG seems like another good option audio-wise, but this one clearly has it beat in the packaging dept.

Me too! I didnt realize how much I would like this and now Im learning there is a BG and a KG Cut out there - along with this one!

Great information on the history of this record (Hissing) and the VMP release. Im hesitating on it and i will probably pass, but i love the record and have Bernie Grundman's recent remaster and am very happy with it. Had i been a VMP subscriber i might have ordered it. Very nice video!

not being familiar with this album at all - I didnt know there was a BG cut or any others until people in the comments started mentioning it - but this is one of my new favorites! I really enjoy this record it was a pleasant surprise. If I ever come across the BG someday I might pick it up to compare them - also have it one LP would be nice too.

@@PiecesofVinylThe recent BG is in the box set the Asylum Albums from last year. If all follows the first box, they will be released individually soon. All analog, sounds great.

I’m not a fan of single albums reissued on two 45 RPM records. The next studio Joni Mitchell album Herija is one of her best. I think you will like it.

I plan on getting that. I think for once I would have preferred this on a single LP I’m usually not bothered by it - but this album id like to chill with longer this goes by fast.

So I will have the complete Rock Track. It's disappointing because I added it. I have the Essentials. I have thought about dropping the Essentials for the Rock.

They will keep putting out rock stuff on the essentials track. It’ll be nice to have a complete set!

VMP with all the bad publicity that's been going on still seems to be trucking right on along just fine. Great video brotha man, much love to you

I disagree...VMP has always made it about the packaging. Foil lettering or booklets or drink recipes... with VMP it has been somewhat about the packaging.

Someone mentioned here in the comments via /reddit that Joni Mitchell asked for no extras to be included🤔
