Re: the unanimous jeering of Speakers' poor gatefold artwork and photo reproduction ... I suggest searching for an original US Asylum issue w/jacket in EX condition. Copies on fleaBay go for under 7 bucks plus tax and Media Mail. Swap it with the Speakers' g/f, and throw away or give away the 1975 disc if it's crackly/scratched.

Ive had terrible luck with these Optimal pressed Joni reissues with alot of non filled disaster returns. So its rather rewarding to have one arrive with zero issues.... undamaged jacket, flat clean vinyl and super quiet playback (bar last few secs of side two closure). The mastering shines through! For £18 the value is unbeatable its just a shame they dont always end up as such!

Mine does have a crackle through all the quiet bits so watch which copy you get and make sure you can return it if a bad one.

Wow, this is the first VMP pressing that I own and the sound quality is just out of this world. Probably one the most flawless, detailed pressings I have ! Perfect balance and clarity, everything sounds rich and alive, and there is absolutely no surface noise.

This pressing sounds AMAZING - the bass and the vocals contrast very well - I have never heard an OG - and I was not familiar with this record as all before this getting copy - check out my full review here: https://youtu.be/7EcGR191pyE

Wonderful sounding pressing, even better than the recent well done official colored vinyl.
The 45 RPM add some clearness and strengh to the sound.
Nice embossed gatefold sleeve and beautiful double LP in solid olive green color.
Great work VMP !!!

Very solid pressing on that album from Joni.
Beautiful transparent bottle-green colored vinyl, that reminds the shades of the picture of Mitchell swimming inside the sleeve.
Nice embossed gatefold cover.
And as usual with those reissues the sound is very clear, warm without any pops or clicks on my copy.
A good way to discover that underlooked album.
