Definitely lacking a booklet here.
SPOTLIGHT Joni Mitchell The Asylum Albums (1972-1975) (Quadio Boxed Set)

This set contains some exceptional sounding audio not even considering the fine music. I’m an analog era fan and hear that tech at its finest here.
So one can find this worth owning for those two good reasons as well as the price which works out really well. If you like Joni at all then this is a must.

I have not bought it yet so no booklet : ) - but I got my answer from someone else who was being helpful -
Brand new 4.0 mix for For the Roses,
and a previously unreleased 4.0 mix Miles of Aisles
“For The Roses” in 4.0 sounds so amazing from a fidelity standpoint. Lovely warmth from the low end and such clarity too. The hit Free Man in Paris is still a standout track here.
“Free Man In Paris” is on “Court and Spark” of course.
If you've been hesitating on buying the Joni quad/Atmos box due to price: the Rhino store is currently offering free shipping for orders over $50, as part of their Memorial Day sale. I just ordered the Joni set using the promo code CC24WMX15 for 15% off, bringing the price down to $67.98 plus tax, with free shipping. I had been waiting for the set to be released to discount retailers in late July, but took the plunge at this price point.
This came up on the Discounts thread, but thought I'd mention it here for those that weren't aware.

Of course, I meant the song:“Free Man In Paris” is on “Court and Spark” of course.

If that don't kick a few "sold" Joni box sets over the fence then nothing will.

Hejira, Mingus, Shadows & Light are all high on the list of must haves. Fingers crossed they are in the next run of Joni releases
Hear Hear ! I would gladly get anything Joni. In addition, Blue, Wild Things Run Fast, Night Ride Home, Chalk Mark, anything that comes to mind. Imagine Both sides now...

Thanks, but my experience with the first batch of quadios was quite bad (separate shipments, shoddy tracking, broken cases..). As there's a possibility to get them from a "local" supplier, I'd rather wait this time.
Hejira, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, Mingus, and Shadows & Light are indeed what's included in The Asylum Years 1976-1980, and Archives Vol. 4 will also center on the period of those albums. My favorite stretch of Joni's career, too. I believe @ForagingRhino has already said that he's unaware of any plans for Atmos mixes, however.
Doesn't mean Joni couldn't eventually change her mind, I suppose....
Carlton & Ford with a nice conversation 18 years (edit) ago; including some Court and Spark and The L.A. Express

I can’t imagine that you could do much with “Blue” given the spare instrumentation.
Not to pick on you or anyone else but , I have to chuckle when I read posts like yours and others like it. I waited for years, hoping against hope that Court and Spark and. “Hissing…” would eventually see the light in day in digital disc format. Now that they finally arrived with extras to boot, Joni fans(myself included) are dreaming about the possibility of more Joni in surround. All I can say is, it’s a long, long way from Canada!
I love the sound of this album as it plays on BR disc on my 4.0 playback. I just wish that it had a touch more discreetness to some of the parts of instrumental backing (like C&S). But I just stood there staring at my speaker when I was playing it thinking of how really great the sound quality is. I was wondering if it was an analog mix and then mastered to 24/192kHz digital after?
