Sucked me right in posted on 03/02/2019
5 Stars
Reviewer: RWC

| Finally got this, along with the new release of Court and Spark. The first listen was practically a religious experience. This is one of those albums that was in constant rotation throughout late high school and college, and for sometime beyond. Perhaps my old copy is just played to death, but the clarity, texture, dynamic range, and silent background of this release sucked me right in.
My brother, who was eight years older than I, introduced me to JM, along with much other music, long before many of my peers were aware. Hearing this again in such beautiful sound sucked me into its core. My brother has been gone for some time now, as is the college girlfriend for whom this was a favorite record, and so are the late summer nights in my little apartment where I heard it played over and over from the neighbor's window. But all that and more came back as I listened; the sound is so captivating.
This is what music can do. Grateful for this new release.

Songs Are Like Tattoos: An Indelibly Beautiful LP posted on 11/07/2007
5 Stars
Reviewer: Christopher Pereira

| Blue has been, will always be my desert-island record, and so for thirty five years I have searched for the perfect "Blue". I own pressings from Canada, France, Germany, USA, Japan, and Great Britain. With Blue, Joni Mitchell set the unmatched standard for the singer/songwriter genere, and with this pressing - quiet, dynamic, detailed - Rhino has put an end to my search. This is The Perfect Blue. As Joni says, "songs are like tattoos" and this is an indelibly beautiful record. I am most grateful to Steve Hoffman and to Rhino Records for their exemplary work on this splendid record. (More, please!)

| Is there anything else that can be said of Joni Mitchell? She's probably got the highest intelligence quotient of any singer in history.
And Blue is certainly one of her most notable albums; well recorded so that if it errs it does so by omission rather than commission.
Cary, California, and Blue in particular certianly do captivate.
The one thing I couldn't figure out was if this latest album was just a reissue of the original '71, or if Joni recorded it all over again in the present day?
Not overly important, given that if anything she's gotten better with age.
Well, gotta get back to listening. So much music, so little time.
Take care, Chad. And thanks for keeping vinyl alive for all these years, when most of us had given up on it.
