Court and Spark

Released 1974Folk & Singer-Songwriter
Classic

Mitchell's jazziest, most accessible record, pairing sophisticated arrangements with sharp, witty writing. It was her commercial peak and remains deeply rewarding. A perfect bridge between her folk and jazz periods. Released in 1974, it's a key entry in Joni Mitchell's run.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
