<<my votes for inclusion in a REAL joni boxed set:>>
Patrick, I second all your inclusions. Any demos of course would be golden.
Alternative versions of recorded songs like:
All I Want & My Old Man from BBC 1970, with alternate lyrics, A Case of You w/same.
"Speechless" from My Top 12
Instrumental Passion Play with scat vocal from 1988 San Remo Fest
"Yarrow" from 1976 Spectrum
"Get Together" from 1969 PBS
ALL the early second fret/WMMR material that was never released
"It's All Over Now, Baby Blue" from 1991 CBC
But, as I already HAVE all this, I would hope for stuff I HAVEN'T heard yet. NAMELY,
the whole late night session that produced the jazzy Hejira, with Herbie, Wayne, David
Sanborn, McFerrin, etc. You know those guys jammed for hours, and the recordings exist
in somebody's vault!
Most artists of Joni's stature realize that their rare stuff is being traded and is in
demand by fans, so they go ahead and do up a proper package. Joni is certainly overdue
for this kind of treatment...
