Janis Joplin/Early Years 1962-1964

Valuable demo sound sources and clubhouse outtakes from 1962 to 1964, before Janis’s record debut, are compiled here in master quality and sound board sound sources sourced from those involved. This was the very beginning of Janis’s career, before she joined the local blues band Big Brother & the Holding Company as a vocalist, and was a prominent figure in San Francisco’s hippie world at the time. Starting with the earliest demo recordings recorded in Texas, live recordings from the time when he was active in a folk blues duo with Jorma Kokonen, who later became a member of Jefferson Airplane, and furthermore, the roots of the blues empress Bessie.・This is a masterpiece that captures her origins and has high documentary value, such as session sound sources that are strongly influenced by Smith and Lead Belly.
