“Rhino will release a Joni Mitchell box set on 29 October 2012. The Studio Albums 1968-1979 gathers together Joni’s ten albums from that period, including all the classics such as 1971′s Blue and the acclaimed The Hissing Of Summer Lawns from 1975”
‘XX’ will include the original album, collectible b-sides, demo tapes recorded in 1991, whereas one of the DVDs will feature their 2010 London reunion free concert – performed as a thank-you to UK fans for making ‘Killing in the Name’ Number One single during Christmas in 2009 – as well as various music videos and the other DVD has the band’s first ever concert!
