    I agree with your comments about Joan. I'd hoped to see her during
    her last tour, but her gig in our town was cancelled, and I didn't
    have time to arrange travel, etc, to other venues.
    
    I can recommend "The Key", with "I Love It When You Call Me Names"
    on it - great stuff; also "Walk Under Ladders" has some good tracks
    but I don't have the album. "Track Record" is a good compilation
    to introduce anyone who doesn't know Joan's work (is there anyone??).
    
    Personally I prefer her older, more simple stuff, especially that
    produced by Glyn Johns, but "Shouting Stage" gets back to her roots
    more than some others.
    
    If you listen to John Peel, you'd never believe it was he who gave
    Joan her first "airings", back in about 1974, I think.
    
    A word of warning - requests for taping of albums in notesfiles
    are frowned upon, as it leaves us wide open to all sorts of
    copyright-infringement allegations. I'm not saying nobody does it,
    though.;-) These files are too enjoyable to be trod on for something 
    like that.

    Have you actually seen "Me Myself I" on CD? I've been looking for
    it for a while, but with no luck..

313.31st album now available on CDJANUS::CROOKThe moving finger wri\irw\types slow!Sun Sep 17 1989 22:578
If you like 'Early Joan' then I can highly recommend her first album -
"whatever's for us" this is available on CD, and also on album as part
of the 'replay' series.

The tracks tend towards 'just me and my guitar'.
