Re-seed, by request. Original seeder--I don't remember, but thanks! If you haven't heard these, you need to. Why these weren't added to the recently remastered version of the official HOSL CD (my favorite Joni, BTW) is beyond me. These are outrageously good. I have ot altered in any way, just made sure they were aligned on SBs (they were).

Enjoy!

Joni Mitchell
Hissing of Summer Lawns Acoustic Demos
Unreleased Studio Recordings

Often packaged with filler on bootleg versions, these are the demos only and they sound wonderful. I have included as a bonus the song "Hunter (The Good Samaritan)" originally scheduled for "Blue" here, because it is the only track from "The Original Blue" that was never released. "Dreamland" later appeared on Don Juan's Reckless Daughter" in a studio version, but the stripped -down version here is expecially appealing. The official album is one of Joni's underrated gems. Buy it and give it a second chance.

Thanks to Les Irvin webmaster at Joni Mitchell Discussion List for the files and for good trading and conversation. To join in the fun, visit http://www.jmdl.com.
