18 Essential Songs
Description
18 Essential Songs takes Janis' career from its beginning with her first recording with Jorma Kaukonen through her last recordings from Pearl. All in all, an expansive Greatest Hits collection that includes such rare gems as the previously unissued "Trouble In Mind" (from the infamous typewriter tapes), "Ball And Chain" (recorded at the Monterey Pop Festival on 6/17/67), "Raise Your Hand" (recorded live on the "Ed Sullivan Show") and the knock-out acoustic recording of " Me And Bobby McGee." Over 70 Minutes of Pure Janis!
