1	Cheap Thrills (1968) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company Cheap Thrills, the major-label debut of Janis Joplin, was one of the most eagerly anticipated, and one of the most successful, albums of 1968. Joplin and her band Big Brother & the Holding Company had earned extensive press notice ever since they played the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967, but for a year after that their only recorded work was ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $11.00!
2	Live at Winterland '68 (1998) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company w/ Janis Joplin Recorded live in San Francisco on April 12 and April 13, 1968, this set is a snapshot of the band -- with fine sound -- reaching the peak of their form. All of the well-known songs from their first two albums are present: "Ball and Chain," "Down on Me," "Piece of My Heart," "Summertime," "Combination of the Two," and "Light Is Faster Than Sound," ... see all copies from $5.94! new only from $5.94!
3	Cheap Thrills [Bonus Tracks] (1999) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company In the mid-'90s, Sony Music began remastering and upgrading many of the classic albums in their library, and Cheap Thrills got the bonus-track treatment in 1999. The major-label debut of Janis Joplin, the original LP was one of the most eagerly anticipated, and one of the most successful albums of 1968. Joplin and her band Big Brother & the ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $11.06!
4	Live in San Francisco, 1966 (2002) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company Recorded on July 28, 1966, before the band had cut any studio material, this performance was one of Janis Joplin's first gigs with Big Brother. The sound is decent, with several famous staples of their repertoire already in place: "Down on Me," "Coo-Coo," and "Ball and Chain." Yet, in comparison with their best studio and live recordings from 1967 ... see all copies from $7.95! new only from $11.00!
5	Electric Sixties (1993) more music like this by Various Artists Focusing on psychedelic rock, hard rock, and garage rock from the 1960s, this CD is among the many compilations that JCI assembled for its Baby Boomer Classics series in the late '80s. The series was, as its name indicates, aimed at the Baby Boomer generation -- most of the 12 songs on Electric Sixties are songs that anyone who was in his/her ... see all copies from $5.00!
6	Monterey International Pop Festival, June 16-17-18, 1967 (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $60.00!
7	Rock Classics of the 60s (1989) more music like this by Various Artists With only a handful of exceptions, every song on Sony Music Special Products' Rock Classics of the '60s actually is considered a rock classic, at least if the playlists of oldies radio stations are any indication. Only the Electric Flag's "Groovin' Is Easy," the Rip Chords' "Hey Little Cobra" and Al Kooper's take on "The Weight" aren't regularly ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.46!
8	Be a Brother (1970) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company Whether Big Brother & the Holding Company would have made any waves at all in the late-'60s San Francisco music scene sans Janis Joplin could be argued. Be A Brother is a good indicator of what they would have sounded like without her amazing voice. Recorded in 1970, guitarist David Schallock and singer/songwriter/producer Nick Gravenites were ... see all copies from $21.99! new only from $21.99!
9	Huckleberry House 30th Anniv. Jam (1997) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99!
10	Do What You Love (1999) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company see all copies from $13.59! new only from $13.59!
11 view cover	Hear It Now! The Sound of the '60s (1999) more music like this by Various Artists This is one of the better compilations that Sony Music or any major label has ever issued on CD, gathering together remastered versions of memorable and notable songs from across the rock spectrum, from Simon & Garfunkel and Scott McKenzie, to Janis Joplin ("Down on Me"), the Chambers Brothers ("Time Has Come Today") and Sly & The Family Stone ("I ... see all copies from $3.15! new only from $6.20!
12 view cover	Cheaper Thrills (1984) more music like this by Big Brother and the Holding Company Recorded on July 28, 1966, before the band had cut any studio material, this performance was one of Janis Joplin's first gigs with Big Brother. The sound is decent, with several famous staples of their repertoire already in place -- "Down on Me," "Coo-Coo," "Ball and Chain..." Big Brother were never noted for their polish, but made up for that ... see all copies from $28.08! new only from $28.08!
13 view cover	By George (& Ira): Red Hot on Gershwin (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Major record companies rarely run out of ways to package previously issued material, and Verve is among the more active (and imaginative) companies in this regard. One of their more popular reissue formats is a series of compilations of songs by important contributors to the Great American Popular Songbook. And there are none who have made greater ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $14.53!
14 view cover	Big Brother & the Holding Company (1967) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company The debut, self-titled album from Big Brother & the Holding Company is an evolving paradigm, ten tracks initially issued on Mainstream Records, a label that would have success in 1968 with "Journey to the Center of the Mind" by Ted Nugent's Amboy Dukes. Unfortunately for Janis Joplin and Big Brother & the Holding Company, the respectable ... see all copies from $6.75! new only from $6.75!
15 view cover	The Lost Tapes (2008) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company The Lost Tapes combines previously unreleased material with performances that have been floating around on bootlegs for years. Listening to these early live recordings from late 1966 and early 1967, it's hard to imagine that this is the same band that would level the audience at the Monterey Pop Festival -- alongside Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding ... see all copies from $17.54! new only from $17.54!
16	Big Brother (2000) by Big Brother see all copies from $25.00!
17	Rock's Greatest Hits (1972) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $8.45!
18 view cover	Be a Brother/How Hard It Is (2008) more music like this by Big Brother and the Holding Company see all copies from $22.24! new only from $22.24!
19 view cover	Hold Me (2006) more music like this by Big Brother & The Holding Company No one could reasonably have had any high expectations for Big Brother & the Holding Company at this late date -- shattered in 1968 by the abrupt departure of Janis Joplin, and subsequently crippled by a combination of bad promotion and ill-conceived album projects, the band was (very unfairly) consigned to also-ran status by the dawn of the '70s. ... see all copies from $14.19! new only from $14.19!
20 view cover	Classic Rock: Rock Renaissance (1989) more music like this by Various Artists Solid compilation in the Time-Life series featuring classic tracks by Jimi Hendrix, Deep Purple, The MC5(!), The Kingsmen, The Yardbirds, The Byrds, The Kinks, Traffic, and others. With excellent sound and informative notes, this comes highly recommended. Cub Koda, All Music Guide see all copies from $15.00!
21	China Beach TV Soundtrack: Music & Memories (1990) more music like this by TV Soundtrack If a movie or television series is about the '60s, its soundtrack should contain some definitive examples of '60s music -- songs that scream '60s in no uncertain terms. China Beach, a series that ran on ABC-TV in the late '80s and early '90s, was about the Vietnam War -- and this soundtrack does contain some definitive examples of rock and soul ... see all copies from $26.99! new only from $26.99!
22 view cover	How Hard It Is (1971) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company The second and final of the post-Janis Joplin Big Brother albums for Columbia looks and sounds like the closing of a chapter. A picture of Big Brother inside the gatefold has the band glowing with heavenly light; the cover photo is more telling, with faceless men standing in the shadows. To realize how good a Big Brother & the Holding Company ... see all copies from $21.99! new only from $21.99!
23 view cover	Big Brother & the Holding Company [Bonus Tracks] (1967) more music like this by Big Brother & the Holding Company Big Brother's debut album was not recorded under optimum circumstances. The sessions were too rushed, and the sound thinner than the band would have liked, especially given how much more powerful some of the material (such as "Down on Me") would sound in later concerts. Still, it's not the useless throwaway some critics have portrayed it as, and ... see all copies from $7.19! new only from $7.19!
24 view cover	Rock: Train Kept a Rollin' (1999) more music like this by Various Artists To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, Columbia ... see all copies from $5.96! new only from $5.96!
