Your disappointment registers some deja vu here. However, any disc from the usually quite well done recycler Rhino label may have served to tipoff a savvy buyer. One also might imagine an extensive Joni collector would have his/her pulse on her catalog, even upcoming releases. Verdict: shame on you! but I bet it's still a great listen.
"new" Joni Mitchell album
Today I bought the just released "Songs of A Prairie Girl" that I though was a new album. It turns to be a collection of songs from previously released albums with the exception of a remixed song and one that was edited. There is no clear indication on the cover that it is re-released material.
There is sticker that says " A new collection curated by Joni Mitchell" that is so ambiguous to me that it says they are trying to hide the fact that these are old recordings. If you have a limited collection of Joni Mitchell or none at all it is a fine collection of songs, but I have an extensive collection so I would never have bought this if I had known what it was.
Shame on them for deceiving me or shame on me for being deceived?
