Description

Up for auction is the 1971 classic first press release "Blue" by Joni Mitchell on Reprise Records # MS 2038. This beauty is still sealed from private collection and NOT a reseal. It still has the 3.99 sticker price. It is the gatefold press with no barcode or cut outs, sealed in amazing condition. Low starting bid and no reserve. Will be shipped in a sturdy record mailer in protective plastic sleeve.

Blue is the fourth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. Exploring the various facets of relationships from infatuation on "A Case of You" to insecurity on "This Flight Tonight", the songs feature simple accompaniments on piano, guitar and Appalachian dulcimer. The album peaked at number 3 on the UK Albums Chart and number 15 on the Blllboard 200.

Today, Blue is generally regarded by music critics as one of the greatest albums of all time; Mitchell's songwriting and compositions are frequent areas of praise. In January 2000, The New York Times chose Blue as one of the 25 albums that represented "turning points and pinnacles in 20th-century popular music". In 2012, Blue was rated the 30th best album ever made in Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", the highest entry by a female artist. In July 2017, Blue was chosen by NPR as the greatest album of all time made by a woman.
