GREATEST HITS spans the length of Janis Joplin's recording career, and features songs recorded with each of her three bands--Big Brother & The Holding Co., the Kozmic Blues Band, and the Full Tilt Boogie Band.
Originally released on Columbia (32168). Includes liner notes by Jaan Uhelszki.
Digitally remastered by Vic Anesini at Sony Music Studios, New York, New York.
A solid, if skimpy, ten-track best-of that gathers the most important songs from Janis Joplin's solo career, as well as her stint with Big Brother & the Holding Company. The compilation 18 Essential Songs offers a wider selection, but does not include the original version of "Me and Bobby McGee," which makes Greatest Hits the better purchase for those who only want one Janis Joplin disc, even if it isn't definitive. The 1999 CD reissue adds two bonus tracks, "Maybe" and "Mercedes Benz." ~ Steve Huey

Arranger: Janis Joplin.Rolling Stone (8/16/73, p.50) - "...Janis Joplin's GREATEST HITS is no final testament to an artist, nor is it a document of its period. It is a record for people who can't get her out of their minds, and for whom she has become some sort of ghost, a permanent image of rock's capacity for generating self-destruction....Janis Joplin, Superstar..."
Q (1/95, p.273) - 3 Stars - Good - "...It's not so much the timbre of her voice that stands out...but the sheer cathartic vitality that emanates from within. It's a soul-deep, blues act that was emphatically matched by her backing bands..."

Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits Music Review
Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)  The flower power generation woman since Joe Cocker!
This digitally remastered greatest hits CD
which includes two bonus tracks on here
by Janis Joplin is an excellent collection. With the destinctive sound of her grasspy high toned soulful, bluesy voice in the history of rock & roll and also popular music back then. She defined a
influential following on legendary female
folk singers of the early late sixties like Canadian Joni Mitchell to country folkie ballader Joan Baez. There are four favorite songs that I like on here and they are "Piece Of My Heart", "Cry Baby", "Me And Bobby McGee" to "Mercedes
Benz".

Features all of her most popular songs. The best thing is that once you hear these songs you'll very likely want her entire collection, which unfortunately isn't that large. Then once you get everything, you can give this to someone else and get them hooked on the amazing Janis.

I have to say Janis Joplin's song Mercedes Benz is one of those songs that get stuck in your head and it'll take month just to get it out. So BEWARE!but it is a good song!
