ULTRADISC ONE-STEP PRESENTS LANDMARK 1970 ALBUM IN UNPARALLELED SOUNDMastering Source to Be Determined Closer to Production Date; Specifics Will Be Posted Here When AuthenticatedLadies of the Canyon can be viewed as Joni Mitchell's coming-out party. Having recently moved to Lookout Mountain in Los Angeles' Laurel Canyon area - her house is depicted in a watercolor painting she made for the record's cover - the Canadian icon turned to her immediate surroundings for inspiration all the while taking the pulse of national affairs, corporate enterprise, celebrity, and her relationship with Graham Nash. The rather upbeat Ladies of the Canyon also finds the singer-songwriter morphing into the groundbreaker who would shed folk music's constructs and wade into pop, jazz, soul, and poetry with a combination of depth, sophistication, self-examination, and acumen no one had ever heard. Deemed 'powerful and brilliant' upon release by The New York Times, this 1970 set marks the first of six consecutive masterworks Mitchell made - and an album that deserves to be heard in the finest-possible fidelity on Mobile Fidelity's UltraDisc One-Step 180g 45RPM 2LP box set.
