Tra una recensione e l’altra, ancora qualche anticipazione sulle principali ristampe del mese di marzo, dopo i cofanetti passiamo alle uscite singole (e un paio di doppi). Senza dimenticare che al 25 marzo uscirà anche un album “nuovo” curato dalla famiglia di Jeff Healey Heal My Soul, ma visto che di quello ho già preparato la recensione, poi la leggerete più avanti il mese prossimo. Per il momento partiamo con questa ulteriore antologia dedicata a Janis Joplin, si tratta della colonna sonora sul documentario dedicato alla vita della cantante texana (quelli che parlano bene dicono docufilm, ma il termine è veramente brutto): si intitola Little Girl Blue e ripercorre la breve vita di quella che è stata senz’altro una delle più grandi cantanti rock della storia (forse la più grande), una delle appartenenti al Club 27, scomparsa il 4 ottobre del 1970, L’ultima volta le avevo dedicato un Post in occasione della pubblicazione di questo live “inedito” http://discoclub.myblog.it/2012/01/07/ma-allora-ditelo-big-brother-and-the-holding-company-featuri/ al Carousel Ballroom, ora tocca alla colonna sonora che uscirà il 4 marzo su Sony Legacy, mentre il DVD e il Blu-Ray sono annunciati per il 4 Maggio.

Anche la Tamla-Motown faceva lo stesso, ma a parte quel cofanetto molto costoso di 4 CD che vedete sopra, pubblicato dalla Hip–o-Select nel 2006 e chi trova ancora a cifre non proibitive, ma certo non per le tasche di tutti, non era mai stata creata una uscita dedicata ad uno spettacolo ad hoc.

Qui cominciamo ad entrare nel repertorio per super specializzati ed appassionati, non ci sono brani particolarmente famosi, a parte qualcosa di Stevie Wonder e dei Jackson 5. Questa versione di Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone degli Undisputed Truth (uscita prima di quella lunghissima dei Temptations) mi piaceva un casino ai tempi!

Solo per soul men, perditempo astenersi, forse negli Stati Uniti esce prima!
