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. Holds up as a strong record in its own right, not just context.
On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes before you buy.
