Joni Mitchell / Joni Mitchell Archives Volume 1: The Early Years (1963-1967)
ジョニ・ミッチェル(Joni Mitchell)のキャリアの中から未発表音源にスポットを当てる大規模なアーカイブ・プロジェクト『Joni Mitchell Archives』の第1弾、CD5枚組の『Joni Mitchell Archives Volume 1: The Early Years (1963-1967)』から「Urge For Going [from Myrtle Anderson Birthday Tape: Detroit, MI (1965)]」が公開
タイトルからも分かるように、第1弾では、ミッチェルがデビュー・アルバム『Song to a Seagull』(1968年)を発表するまでの数年間をカバーしています。
これまでにリリースされていない約6時間の音源が特徴で、「Michael From Mountains」や「I Had a King」などの初期ヴァージョン、1965年に放送されたCBC TVの番組『Let’s Sing Out』のミニ・セット、ニール・ヤング「Sugar Mountain」のレアなカヴァー、そして「Free Darling」「Mr. Junk」「Chelsea Morning」の1967年のニューヨーク・ホーム・デモなどを収録。この作品は、1967年10月27日にミシガン州アナーバーのカンタベリー・ハウスでライヴ録音されたナイトクラブショー(3セット)で幕を閉じます。
海外では同日の10月30日に、アナログレコード1枚『Early Joni -1963』と、1967年10月27日ミシガン州アナーバー公演のライヴ音源を収めたアナログレコード3枚組『Live at the Canterbury House-1967』も発売されます。
以下は以前に公開された音源
19歳のジョニ・ミッチェルによる「House Of The Rising Sun」のパフォーマンス音源。このカヴァーは1963年にカナダのサスカトゥーンのラジオ局CFQC AMのために録音されたもので、ミッチェルの最初の録音として知られています。
