Box of Pearls: The Janis Joplin Collection
Box Of Pearls
A limited-edition five-CD box set comprising both albums that Janis Joplin made with Big Brother & the Holding Company (Cheap Thrills and Big Brother & the Holding Company , both of her solo albums (I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! and Pearl , and a bonus EP with five previously unreleased recordings. Each of these four albums includes previously unreleased bonus tracks, and each is available separately with the same material. The tracks on the bonus EP aren't available anywhere else, and if you're devoted enough to consider laying out for this deluxe box, you're probably most interested in what's on that fifth disc. There are a couple of Cheap Thrills outtakes, "It's a Deal" and "Crazy Once You Know How," with a garagey feel and some typically scorching, uninhibited Big Brother lead guitar; it can be seen why they may not have been deemed strong enough for the album, but they're pretty cool to have. The live versions of "Maybe" (April 1969) and "Raise Your Hand" (October 1969) are okay, but not essential; of greater curiosity is the raw live charge through "Bo Diddley" (also October 1969). Note that this box does not include a good deal of material that has shown up on the Janis box, the Janis movie soundtrack, In Concert and Farewell Song so it's not a complete collection of Joplin s recordings. ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
