Joni Mitchell launches archival release series

Featuring her earliest known recording, live performances and previously unreleased material.

Joni Mitchell has launched a new series of archival releases, called the Joni Mitchell Archives.

Its vinyl offerings thus far include Live at Canterbury House and Early Joni.

Live at Canterbury House collects Mitchell’s previously unreleased performance at the venue during 1967, with renditions of ‘Chelsea Morning’, ‘Come To The Sunshine’, and ‘I Had a King’.

Early Joni is her earliest known (and previously unreleased) recording – made when she was just nineteen.

Alongside the new archival series, Mitchell also reissued her 2007 album Shine on vinyl for the first time, in April earlier this year.

Head here to pre-order a copy of Live at Canterbury House, and here for Early Joni, in advance of their 30th October release – check out the artwork and tracklist below.
