Description
Since her debut album arrived in 1968, Joni Mitchells songs have been embraced across generations, inspired multitudes of artists around the world, and earned every conceivable accolade. She is now opening her vault for the first time to create the Joni Mitchell Archives, a new series of releases that will span the next several years, featuring deep dives in to unreleased content from different eras of her storied career. Mitchell has been intimately involved in producing the archive series, lending her vision and personal touch to every element of the project.

Production of this 180-gram vinyl set will be limited to 10,000 copies. Bob Franke, who was covering Mitchells show at Canterbury House for the Michigan Daily while also moonlighting as a doorman at the club, pens the liners for LIVE AT CANTERBURY HOUSE. His original review for the Michigan Daily is also included.
Looking back, Mitchell reflects on her early label of folk singer: The early stuff, I shouldnt be such a snob against it. A lot of these songs, I just lost them. They fell away. They only exist in these recordings. For so long I rebelled against the term, I was never a folk-singer. I would get pissed off if they put that label on me. I didnt think it was a good description of what I was. And then I listened andit was beautiful. It made me forgive my beginnings. And I had this realizationI was a folk singer!
