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 have pretty much every Joni album on vinyl (originals) and somehow I doubt that remastering is going to make this astonishing music better...these albums sounded great then and still do. No problem with remastering per-se (bought the Band "brown album" boxed set and the 45rpm remastered vinyl sounds amazingly good, and my original LP was simply worn out) but with Joni's stuff my originals do the job brilliantly.

I do stream (frequently...upstream often without a paddle) with some relatively high res gear and I'm not afraid to admit it. I'll check out the new Joni and see what's what, but really my point about this is that Joni was so profoundly beyond anybody else in contemporary music that her albums transcended most everything else with nobody coming even close the her brave creativity. Remastering is unlikely to make her music better although it might sound different than originally recorded.
