One may wonder if Joni Mitchell (who put this career retrospective together herself) was a bit shy of this certainly not easy task at first. Or did the 17 songs immediately appear in her mind's eye - like in a dream sequence? What is certain is that we are holding the first career-spanning compilation in our hands, of course with all the important songs of her more than 35-year career, the cover and booklet are adorned with pictures painted by herself and the liner notes are written by none other than Cameron Crowe ("Almost Famous"). Great packaging and best sound quality are self-evident, that's what the name Rhino-Records stands for.
