I forgot to mention it's an 'entirely clear' jewel case and the front spine (which is usually black plastic) is clear and they've got 'digitally remastered' in white running up the front spine and Joni's 'How' photo staring put at us, printed to fit the front spine. I'm not sure it's called a front spine but it's the part of the cd spine that faces the front. Most cds are usually black plastic. Thisi is the first Joni cd that I've seen with clear plastic.I don't think that makes it collectable though... heh heh... Hmmm, Michael I don't know if it's a UK only re-release... You might have to check out your record stores. You can tell straight away it's the new re-issue due to the entirely clear plastic jewelcase.

This had passed me by, or perhaps I didn't pay close enough attention to the year of the reissue when I was recently checking DJRD's availability status for my project. According to amazon.co.uk it was released on 4th July 2005, although in true amazon fashion they have it down as on the Elektra label rather than Asylum.

This performance was one of the highlights of the fest for me. An amazing, creative twist on a Joni song.... or two. I encourage everyone to listen to this track! Les ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2005 13:29:37 EDT From: JasonMaloney71@aol.com Subject: Re: DJRD reissue? Hi Jamie, They're all part of the Warner Music Group, yes. Having read the fantastic book on the history of the WMG through the past 100 years by Stan Cornyn, I'm slightly wiser about how the various labels and acronyms came to pass, but not any less confused by it all! A lot of Asylum acts "moved" (cosmetically as much as anything, perhaps) to Elektra in the 80s, as far as I have seen from the catalogue numbers and chart stats, and many of the rest went to Geffen. An awful lot of to-ing and fro-ing takes place within the WMG umbrella even to this day....they're a law unto themselves at times. According to UK release info Joni started on Reprise, then moved to Asylum, before her Geffen years (which briefly saw her albums outside of the Warner stable when he signed a deal with MCA at the start of the 90s) and finally a return to Reprise in 1994. I suppose that's one reason why the 80s albums tend to appear grouped together as a box-set, as well as not being as easily available as the rest of her catalogue these days. I think that all made some sense! Jason. In a message dated 06/10/2005 13:21:33 GMT Standard Time, jamiezubairi@yahoo.co.uk writes: I think they're all the same aren't they?

I always thought my destiny was to become a hermit - though I have to admit this is not easy when you have a family! :-) I just don't spend a lot of time on the internet anymore as my eyes have been giving me a bit of trouble and I find that the time I have to spend at work on the computer is usually quite enough for the day. While I've dropped out of a few other discussion lists I still visit the JMDL to see what's going on - I guess I just can't bring myself to sever the connection. I had seen something about the Joni tribute concert at Tris Elies and would certainly like to attend. After all, it is only up the road! A late Sunday night is the only problem as I have to get up early the next morning. I've never been much of night person and as I get older even less so. But I know my daughter will be interested so we'll see. If I go I'll report to the group, I promise. Cheers to all, and especially to you Bob, my old (in terms of our acquaintance, that is!) mate keeping the faith in South Carolina.

I have many emotional parallels to yours in my conversion to Joni story. Abeit, I grew up in Ohio and had a few more comrades in my Joni camp in college in the 70's who were lucky, like me, to be able to see her live in Cleveland in '72 with Paul Simon/ James Taylor on the McGovern campaign. I also fell in with Ladies of the Canyon and then lost touch with her after marriage, kids. When I watched the TNT Tribute show in 2000 I bawled my eyes out uncontrollably and had to go searching for more. Like you, found the JMDL and read endlessly. The rest is recent history. In 2001 my family took a cruise to Alaska with a few extra days in Vancouver. Below is a snippet of the story of us looking for Joni! The "meltdown" reference is to when I was fortunate enough to sit behind Joni at the Toronto Hommage Tribute. I can still visualize every glistening strand of her flaxen hair and hear her every murmur to Klein, her seat mate. This place is a haven for those of us with that Joni feeling. Welcome and I hope you can gather from 2002 post where her place is in relation to Vancouver.
