another in the occasional series of albums or singles bought when they came out and this goes for the album 'Cheap Thrills' by Janis Joplin (1968)


It probably isn't my favourite track from that album but it is a classic and the selection of favourite's is hard from such an album where every track suits some mood or other. I guess given a push I say 'Piece of My Heart' I gave it to someone who melted it on the back seat window of a car and miss my original but have had it since several times over on CD and remastered versions and it remains a classic not least for it's brilliant cover by another artist hero, the legendary Robert Crumb.
