Joni Mitchell remasters on the way

FYI, some remastered Joni albums from an amazing period are on the way. I’m especially excited about how "Miles of Aisles" turns out, because that album really needs a remaster.

"Rhino explores the beginning of the prolific Asylum era with THE ASYLUM ALBUMS (1972-1975), the next installment in the Joni Mitchell Archives series. The collection features newly remastered versions of For The Roses (1972), Court And Spark (1974), the double live album Miles Of Aisles (1974), and The Hissing Of Summer Lawns (1975). All four were recently remastered by Bernie Grundman."

I’m listening to Court and Spark 2022 remaster right now from Amazon Music through a soundbar and it sounds great. The albums were released last Friday, the 23d. I think they’ll sound good on a better system. They don’t appear to be compressed. I hope they’re not.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Mine are in transit.  Hissing is on my top ten list of best records, by anyone, ever.  Of course your tastes might be very different.

The technical notes shows average of 12DR for all four albums which is pretty good. And Bernie’s is darn good at remastering albums. Enjoy them in 24bit/192kHz on Qobuz!

Oh great, more remastered loudness. Sorry, all of those releases were originally mastered and mixed perfectly to begin with. Remastering is not even necessary in this case. Court and Spark on Asylum (1001-2) was the first CD I ever heard, and IMO, the original CD still sounds amazing to this day.
