Description

 Featuring  almost six hours of unreleased home, studio, and live recordings Volume 2, a second five CD box set of Joni Mitchell‘s Archives : The  Reprise Years (1968-1971) is sequenced chronologically to follow Mitchell in real time through one of the most creative periods of her career.

The collection includes 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 19 March, 1968 that was recorded by Jimi Hendrix and a concert at the Paris Theatre in London on 29 October, 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, James Taylor joined Mitchell to perform with her during the second half of the show.  Archives Vol 2 includes Joni Mitchell’s complete Carnegie Hall debut, recorded on 1 February, 1969, a few months before the release of her second album, Clouds.

The second Archives box set offers almost six hours of unreleased home, studio, and live recordings and like the first box it includes a booklet illustrated with many unseen photos from Mitchell’s personal collection as well as new sleeve notes featuring conversations about the time period between writer/filmmaker Cameron Crowe and Mitchell.
