18 Essential Songs
18 Essential Songs is a one-disc distillation of the triple-disc Janis box set. Running 70 minutes, it is a more extensive best-of than the ten-track 1973 Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits album. But it is denied "first pick" status because, unlike that album, it does not contain the hit version of Joplin s only number one single, "Me and Bobby McGee." (It does, however, contain an alternate demo version of that song.) ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
