Description
* The legendary 1964 rehearsal collaboration receives its first official issue
* Restoration and Mastering by Grammy®-winning engineer Michael Graves
* Packaging contains rare photos plus liner notes from Jorma Kaukonen

Jorma Kaukonen (later of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna) met a singer named Janis Joplin at a hootenanny in San Jose, California, in the fall of 1962. Over the following years, Janis would call on Jorma to accompany her at gigs. As they continued to play together, the Bay Area was changing musically and developing into the legendary San Francisco scene to which both Janis and Jorma would be integral. During a rehearsal for a show in North Beach, Jorma started his reel-to-reel machine to capture what they were working on. For decades, this recording was the stuff of legend, with inferior, multi-generational transfers making their way through select collector's circles. Now, for the very first time, it is available officially, with the blessing and cooperation of both the Janis Joplin Estate and Jorma Kaukonen. The Legendary Typewriter Tape: 6/25/64 Jorma's House contains this legendary recording, featuring Restoration and Mastering from acclaimed, Grammy?-winner Michael Graves. The tracks include Joplin on vocals, Kaukonen on guitar, and Jorma's wife Margareta typing away intermittently in the background. This may have just been a rehearsal, but it is so much more. Featuring Joplin originals, as well as blues classics, The Legendary Typewriter Tape is an intimate glimpse into two major artists at the beginnings of what would become highly influential careers. As Jorma says in his liner notes: "This is indeed a window into a simpler time when the music truly was everything."

Enjoy being a fly on the wall and revel in the magic of The Legendary Typewriter Tape.

This trailer mainly promotes the Record Store Day vinyl release, but the album is going into general release on CD a week later (as see in the first post

):

Sounds interesting. Thanks Linda.

For those wanting a taste, “Trouble In Mind” and “Hesitation Blues,” appeared on a Janis Joplin boxed set, Janis, in 1998.

If Omni was able to sonically improve this set, I'm in.

Strangely, this set excludes What Good Can Drinking Do, which was released on the Janis box set years ago...unless it's from a different session although there is a typewriter clacking away in the background!

Looks interesting. Definite maybe.
