Judy Collins' The '60s Singles brings together, for the first time, the remarkable array of 45s on which the singer's discography was built. With songs by Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Randy Newman, Sandy Denny, Eric Andersen, and Joni Mitchell - including the international smash "Both Sides Now" - Collins' early Elektra singles reflected a vast musical imagination, a hunger to explore material from rock to art songs, and a powerful social conscience. Every one of these fourteen single sides is presented in its original single mix - most of which are unique mixes and edits, with the first ten songs in mono and the final four in stereo. These versions have been out of print and unavailable for over five decades and all have been painstakingly restored for this collection. Highlights include Collins' first foray into folk-rock, the mono non-LP single of Bob Dylan's "I'll Keep It with Mine" featuring Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield; the rare promotional stereo mix of Joni Mitchell's "Chelsea Morning," different from the commonly-available stereo version; and two versions of the classic "Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is a Season)." Mike Milchner has remastered every track, TSD's Joe Marchese has penned the new liner notes diving into the history of each song, and John Sellards has designed the package in the style of the era. Available on both CD and "Judy Blue Eyes" vinyl (limited to just 1,000 units) from Real Gone Music and TSD. As an Amazon affiliate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
