Just heard this vinyl version for the first time (thanks Discogs seller Vinyl_Fever), sounds wonderful to my ears and superior to the CD. An extraordinary album.

I feel like I just don’t appreciate her music. It’s Jackson Browne level boring.

Fantastic pressing, nice jacket and clean rich sound, beautiful album too!

anyone else confused why this didn’t get a colored repress like the rest of her albums up to this point? :(

Got this as a freebie thrown in with some other records I'd purchased, it's a mismatch, housed in the jacket for Mitchell's debut album. The label matches up with this pressing. The music veers dangerously close to smooth jazz at times, but the off-kilter arrangements keep it interesting. "Edith And The Kingpin" and "Harry's House - Centerpiece" are standout tracks. No issues with the sound quality of the vinyl, nice range from top to bottom, with an atmospheric, spacious soundstage. My copy plays nice and clean with occasional faint surface noise.

My copy has a label on the A side wax, 'Their geratest hits 1971-1975' by the Eagles K53017! But actually the side A Hissing of Summer lawns.

Tried 3 copies so far, 1 scratched, the other 2 have scraping type noise (non fill?) in right channel at the end of side one. Must be an issue affecting a whole batch. Will wait for a bit before trying again.

I have all of Joni's music digital/CDs and "Blue" on vinyl. Just picked up a minty OG locally. Wow very dynamic, nobody like Joni and her productions always top notch. Sweet music virtuosity.

Fairly surprised how good this sounds. Nice separation of instruments, good sounding bass clear hi hats. Very surprised.

There is some surface noise but it’s not distracting

Personally not my favorite Mitchell album but also not as familiar with it. Seeing as how it sounds quite good, I’ll probably give it more play time than I’d thought.
