Product description

"Pearl," released on January 11, 1971, is the second and final solo studio album by the legendary Janis Joplin. This iconic record, which spent nine weeks at number one, is a testament to Joplin's powerful and distinctive voice, blending gritty, raw, and bluesy elements with the polished sound of her backing band. The album features a mix of studio recordings and live performances, offering a comprehensive look into Joplin's musical prowess and stage presence. Highlights include the iconic tracks "Me and Bobby McGee," "Mercedes Benz," and "Move Over," along with live renditions of classics like "Piece of My Heart" and "Kozmic Blues." The album's legacy is cemented by its ranking at number 135 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list and its impressive sales of over four million copies. "Pearl" is a timeless collection that showcases Janis Joplin's unparalleled talent and enduring influence on rock music.

This 2022 Numbered Reissue LP is pressed on Blue vinyl.

  • Poor Sound Quality, Blurred Audio

    1 out of 5 stars
    zeblemohlopJanuary 2, 2026United States🇺🇸

    The sound quality of my pressing is truly awful. It's all blurred and dull, with no distinction between the instruments and vocals at all. Has anyone else encountered this problem with this or other pressings?

  • Mediocre Sound Quality

    3 out of 5 stars
    tokeupwetu61December 2, 2025United States🇺🇸

    picked up a second-hand one. The sound's alright, but the mix ain't great, there's a bunch of distortion on certain songs.

  • Excellent Audio Quality

    5 out of 5 stars
    Wximi_Qkoco_FuubrOctober 25, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Audio quality is fantastic! Instruments are well-distinguished - the bass and kick drum really pack a punch. Can't quite confirm if it's AAA since the "sourced from the original masters" phrasing is a bit vague, but it's an excellent sounding release regardless.

  • Noisy Record, Poor Packaging

    3 out of 5 stars
    htuidgocbOctober 7, 2025United States🇺🇸

    My record is ridiculously noisy. It sounded like a cereal box when I first played it, even after I cleaned it with an antistatic brush. I'm hoping VPI can fix the snaps, crackles, and pops. The pearl vinyl looks awesome, but I'm not happy with how it's packaged. It's just the original cover (with a VMP stamp) and a plain plastic sleeve. The notes say there's a printed inner sheet, but I didn't get one, and I don't see a picture of it here. Did anyone else receive one?

  • Mofi Release Audio Excellence

    5 out of 5 stars
    gqinwuzuOctober 1, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Absolutely amazing Mofi release! The audio is rich and crisp with awesome dynamics!

About Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin, the original Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, was a force to be reckoned with in the 1960s music scene. Born in Port Arthur, Texas, Joplin's powerful mezzo-soprano vocals and electrifying stage presence set her apart as one of the most iconic and successful rock performers of her era. Inspired by the blues, her raw, blues-soaked voice captivated audiences and solidified her status as the premier white female blues vocalist of the decade. Joplin's music spans genres like classic rock, acid rock, and psychedelic rock, making her a feminist icon and a lasting influence in the world of rock music. Her legacy continues to inspire new generations of musicians and fans alike.
