I used to have this on vinyl back in the day, but had almost forgotten it and Janis Ian until I heard "At Seventeen" on a taxi radio.....it brought back all that bitter-sweet, New York melancholy.
I was pleased to find this, undoubtedly her best album, available on CD, and remastered too.
I listened to it straight through then homed in on what used to be my favourite tracks.... "In the Winter" and "Between the Lines".
They still do it for me.
There's a bonus track, a live recording of "Between the Lines"....much more forthright than the original.
I'm so glad to have this again.
Bought this album when it came out and loved it. Now have it on CD and have realised what a masterpiece it is.
Wonderful voice, amazing songs, brilliant instrumentation and production.
I can't stop playing it.
