Rhino will release the next instalment of their ongoing Joni Mitchell archive series in 2023. The Asylum Years 1972-75 is a 4CD or 5LP vinyl box set that features newly remastered versions of four albums.
Mitchell left Reprise Records after 1971’s Blue and in 1972 joined the new label Asylum Records. This box explores the start of that era and the four long-players within are For the Roses (1972), Court and Spark (1974), the double live album Miles of Aisles (1974), and The Hissing of Summer Lawns (1975). Bernie Grundman has handled the remastering. A singer, composer and lyricist of exceptional talent and unmatched influence, Joni Mitchell has crafted an extraordinary body of work spanning more than 40 years and is widely regarded as one of the brightest musical lights of recent generations. Fans, fellow musicians and critics have delighted in an ever-evolving creative journey, with songs both universal and profoundly personal. Her music has become a standard to which others are compared and which many aspire to copy, but its inventiveness and ineffable spirit make it decidedly her own. Explore the musical magnificence of Joni Mitchell.
This box set is being released on CD and vinyl. The 5LP vinyl box is ‘limited’ to 20,000 units, although no numbers have been given for the 4CD set. The cover art for the box set features a a previously unseen painting by Mitchell and The Asylum Albums comes with an essay by fellow Canadian Neil Young.
