Reviews

  1. The Second Disc
    The Pearl Sessions expands the original 10-track album produced by Paul Rothchild (The Doors) with a whopping 25 bonus tracks, nine of which are unreleased. This should be the most illuminating look yet at the seminal recording by Joplin and the Full Tilt Boogie Band. The original LP, on Disc One, is augmented by the six mono single mixes of “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Half Moon,” “Cry Baby,” “Get It While You Can,” “Move Over” and “A Woman Left Lonely.” Disc Two, then, is dedicated to the album’s recording sessions. This fly-on-the-wall look takes in studio chatter, demos and alternate takes over its 19 selections, including three stabs at “Get It While You Can” and “Move Over,” two of “My Baby,” and alternates of “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Cry Baby” and “A Woman Left Lonely.” A live performance of “Tell Mama,” recorded in Toronto on June 28, 1970, rounds out the set.
