Never an album known for its sonic merit, this was a played-to-death LP from its initial release in 1968, thanks to a staggering performance by the lead singer, Janis Joplin. The band itself was no great shakes, and often hit some excruciating bum notes, but Joplin - also one who played free and loose with the concept of singing on key - was so staggeringly intense that this group's take on blues-cum-rock made her a legend. What this 45rpm edition does is open the sound, such that I have never heard the bass playing so clearly, while the epic 'Piece Of My Heart' borders on the transcendent. I fell in love with this album 48 years ago, and hearing it this way was a case of falling in love again. Janis, we salute you.

机译：从来没有一张专辑以其音效而著称，这是自1968年首张专辑发行以来的致命专辑，这要归功于主唱Janis Joplin的惊人表演。乐队本身并没有很大的动摇，经常打出一些令人讨厌的流浪音，但是乔普林-也是一位自由随和的演奏键演奏概念的人-是如此的强烈，以至于这个乐队对布鲁斯兼摇滚的追求使她一个传奇。这款45rpm版本的功能是打开声音，以至于我从未听过贝司演奏如此清晰的声音，而史诗般的“我的心之乐”（Piece Of My Heart）则接连超越。我在48年前爱上了这张专辑，以这种方式听到它又是一次坠入爱河的案例。贾尼斯，我们向您致敬。
