Synopsis

Album Description
Big Brother & The Holding Company were leading lights on San Francisco's psychedelic scene in the late 60's, led by charismatic Janis Joplin. The twelve tracks on disc 1 are all previously unreleased, having only recently been discovered by surviving band members, and were recorded in January 1967 at The Matrix. Those on disc 2 were recorded in July 1966 at California Hall and have previously only been available as poor quality bootlegs. Disc 2 also contains two enhanced videos filmed at the studios of KQED TV in April 1967, just weeks before the group's legendary Monterey Festival appearance, and is also previously-unreleased. This release is housed in a hard back media book and includes notes from two of the original band members as well as additional detailed notes about the group and the actual recordings.
