I acquired a copy of Janis Joplin's Pearl.

Originally released in 1971, it was her first LP featuring the Full Tilt Boogie Band, and her last LP ever.

The copy I picked up was released in 2016 by Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs. It is, of course, mastered as half speed. The songs were cut at 45 rpm, necessitating a two-disk package. It has a gatefold cover. the two disks are 180 grams, and is a numbered release. It says "Limited Edition" but I don't know how "limited" it really is, somehow I suspect they aren't going to sell out even at this point in time, ten years down the road. Because mine was bought as "new old stock", unopened, for $50 (the original retail price).

It does sound very good. It is one of just a few MFSL records I have that all the rigamarole they go through to make the record results in noticeably better sound. This is not a case of, "yeah, it kind of seems like a thin veil has been lifted on the frequencies north of 8k." This is a full-on, "Ok, wow!".

And that album 100% deserves a treatment like that. It's heartbreaking how both incredible and final it is.

Indeed, she deserved much better, both from the people in her life at that time and herself. But by that time, she was listening to the heroin.

I'm expecting I'm about to buy Burning Floor by The Schizophonics, if it's as good as their first two albums.

Thick As A Brick- Jethro Tull

Ahhh... reminds me of making lists of albums and having rules to exclude Thick As a Brick from the lists... great album, one of my faves of the Tull catalogue. :smug:
