Janis Joplin's Classic LP Collection features exact reproductions sourced from the original masters of all four of her celebrated studio albums on 180g audiophile vinyl including Big Brother & the Holding Co. (1967), Cheap Thrills (1968), I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! (1969) and the posthumously released Pearl (1971). The album jackets have been meticulously recreated from the original art.

Big Brother & the Holding Company is the debut album from Big Brother and the Holding Company and the studio debut of Janis Joplin. The album was originally released in the summer of 1967, following the band's major success at the Monterey Pop Festival. The album was a minor success, peaking at #60 and almost producing a top forty hit with the Joplin song "Down on Me".

Cheap Thrills was a great success, hitting number one on the charts for 8 nonconsecutive weeks in 1968. The album features three cover songs ("Summertime", "Piece of My Heart" and "Ball and Chain"). The album also features Bill Graham, who introduces the band at the beginning of "Combination of the Two". "Combination of the Two", "I Need a Man to Love" and "Ball and Chain" are the only live recordings. The album's overall raw sound effectively captures the band's energetic and lively concerts.

I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! is the first solo studio album Joplin recorded after leaving Big Brother and the Holding Company. The LP was released on September 11, 1969 and reached gold record status within two months of its release. It was issued by Columbia under #KCS 9913. The first pressing was titled only on the spine and disc labels. Later, The title of the album was added as a sticker on cellophane tape designed by R. Crumb and stuck to the cellophane sealed wrapping.

Pearl is the fourth album by Janis Joplin, released posthumously on Columbia Records in January 1971. It was the final album with her direct participation, and the only Joplin album recorded with the Full Tilt Boogie Band, her final touring unit. It peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200, holding that spot for nine weeks. It has been certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA.

I have included full scans.

Thanks for sharing what looks to be a wonderful boxset VH.

It has been drier than a popcorn fart around Avax lately in the vinyl section for reasons we all know, but thanks VH for sharing your work.

You're welcome.

Janis was one of the sweetest, most beautiful people the music world has ever seen. Unfortunately, she was taken from us far before her time. Listening to these amazing new pressings of her music has been a true pleasure. Janis will be missed but will live on forever in the grooves.

Enjoy!
“VH”

Thanks for the share!

Many thanks for this great share, VH, really looking forward to hearing these - and thanks for helping to keep things going around here during these "troubled times" - very much appreciated!

Posted By: hwy61200 Date: 08 Feb 2012 17:28:57

Hey all - I sent a PM to VH - the File Factory 16/44 rar file for "Cheap Thrills" only contains side one - so you all might want to wait on that until VH gets it fixed...

Posted By: vinylhound Date: 08 Feb 2012 18:01:27

There is nothing to fix. The 16/44 contains all 7 tracks. Side 1 has 4 tracks & side 2 has 3 tracks. I just downloaded it myself from FF & FP and both are fine.

Thanks, VH - I don't know why only 104mb downloaded - I'm downloading it again - hopefully just one of those unknown computer things...

Posted By: hwy61200 Date: 08 Feb 2012 18:55:18

Everything seems to have worked out fine the second time around - listening to it now - thanks again!

Special thanks for offering Filefactory links. Filepost just doesn't cut it from my area :(

As Always, Great Post With Great Quality. Thanks So Much!!!

Maybe something's messed up on my end, but the archive for Album 3 (Kozmic Blues) seems to contain only the first five tracks and no art. FWIW, I dl'ed from FileFactory. No error messages when unpacking the archive, and inspecting the archive, the five tracks are all I see.

Regardless, thanks for the great uploads.

Posted By: orgel Date: 10 Feb 2012 16:36:31

Never mind. Tried using different extraction software and all's well.

Good work and really appreciated.
I have been made redundant after a working life of 1971 to 2012 41 years) with different companies and self employemts in ther as well and 11 years continuous with the last one!
I am so low as I cant get any benifits afte rhaving paid tax all thhat time and becaouse I have a pay quite good due to long sevice leave + holiday (never taken) + pay + payment instead of notice (just found out you are not required on the day, you can go now!) I am shattered.
So blues music will sooth my soul for a while till i get up and say F,,K you to them all.
ps did I say thanks dude for the share.
