Welcome to the Playlist series. Painstakingly compiled by the artists and the music nuts at Legacy Recordings, these collections truly represent an artists complete body of work. We ve fished through Hundreds-thousands-of tracks to cherry pick the perfect playlists. Not just the hits (anyone can find those). The life changing cuts. The out-of-print tracks. The fan favorites everyone loves. The songs that make the artist who they are.

You ll no doubt enjoy the sound of the beautifully remastered songs on this CD (as opposed to MP3 s that contain less information, which translate into compromised sound). But we think the thing you ll appreciate most about this Playlist is that even though you didn t make it, you might wish you did.

The only "best of" ever available in North America, with the cooperation of Sony and Universal Janis was able to re-master all her early tracks. This set follows her autobiography, whose chapters are song titles and quotes. All the "hits" are here, from her early Grammy nominated "Society's Child" to the Roberta Flack hit "Jesse", from "Stars" to "At 17". The platinum disco hit "Fly Too High" is here in its original form, along with Sesame Street's "Ginny the flying Girl". There are four tracks that never appeared anywhere before. Ian's website has much more inf.janisian.comormation on this set!

Digitally remastered two CD set containing a pair of original albums from the Folk/Rock singer/songwriter: Stars (1974) and Aftertones (1976). The two albums that bookended her hugely successful Between The Lines album, each of these releases are complimented by a bonus live track on each disc. While Stars was a critically successful release, Aftertones consolidated the worldwide success of Between The Lines, particularly in the UK and Japan. Edsel. 2010.

Digitally remastered two CD set containing a trio of albums from the American singer/songwriter: Night Rains (1979), Restless Eyes (1981) and Uncle Wonderful (1983) plus bonus tracks. Night Rains was Janis' sixth album for CBS and features two of her first-ever co-writes: 'The Other Side Of The Sun' was written with Albert Hammond while 'Fly Too High' was co-written and produced by disco colossus Giorgio Moroder. Restless Eyes was Janis' last album for CBS. The album features guest appearances from Manhattan Transfer's Janis Siegel and Country fiddle player Byron Berline. Uncle Wonderful was recorded for the Australian Festival label and was Janis' last album before a ten year break. Something of an oddity in Janis' catalogue, the album contains a lot of synthesizer backing and spawned a dance hit in 'Heart Skip Too Many Beats', which was co-written and performed with Dan Hartman. Edsel. 2010.
