Artist: Janis Joplin | Album: Anthology | Released: 1980 | Genre: Psychedelic, Rock | Country: US

Anthology is an adequate double-disc retrospective of Janis Joplin’s years with Big Brother & the Holding Company and her solo career, containing most of her best-known songs and a selection of forgotten gems. It’s a fine set, but the single-disc Greatest Hits is better suited for casual fans, and the box set Janis serves the needs of collectors much better than this, so the 1997 reissue of this double album is a little puzzling and unnecessary, even if it is an enjoyable listen.
