1	The Essential Janis Joplin (2003) more music like this by Janis Joplin Columbia has managed to squeeze an impressive, perhaps excessive, number of compilations out of Janis Joplin's relatively slim body of recordings. With this two-CD set, The Essential Janis Joplin, the label's at it again, though it's a good one to get if you don't want to collect all the Joplin releases, and certainly don't want to get the ... see all copies from $7.78! new only from $7.78!
2	Pearl (1971) more music like this by Janis Joplin Janis Joplin's second masterpiece (after Cheap Thrills), Pearl was designed as a showcase for her powerhouse vocals, stripping down the arrangements that had often previously cluttered her music or threatened to drown her out. Thanks also to a more consistent set of songs, the results are magnificent -- given room to breathe, Joplin's trademark ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.18!
3	The Big Chill [Deluxe Edition] (2004) more music like this by Original Soundtrack By combining the ten songs from the original Big Chill soundtrack album with all but one song from The Big Chill: More Songs From the Original Soundtrack; three instrumental songs from the film; and 15 classic '60s rock and soul tracks that didn't appear on either of those soundtracks (or the film itself), Hip-O managed to fashion a two-CD, 38 ... see all copies from $21.01! new only from $21.01!
4	Janis (1993) more music like this by Janis Joplin This three-CD box set is the most thorough and valuable retrospective of Janis Joplin's career. Besides including all of her most essential recordings with and without Big Brother & the Holding Company, this 49-song package features quite a few enticing rarities; 18 of the tracks were previously unissued. These include a 1962 home recording of the ... see all copies from $8.85! new only from $36.00!
5	18 Essential Songs (1995) more music like this by Janis Joplin 18 Essential Songs is a one-disc distillation of the triple-disc Janis box set. Running 70 minutes, it is a more extensive best-of than the ten-track 1973 Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits album. But it is denied "first pick" status because, unlike that album, it does not contain the hit version of Joplin's only number one single, "Me and Bobby McGee." ... see all copies from $2.64! new only from $8.98!
6	Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits (1973) more music like this by Janis Joplin A solid, if skimpy, ten-track best-of that gathers the most important songs from Janis Joplin's solo career, as well as her stint with Big Brother & the Holding Company. The compilation 18 Essential Songs offers a wider selection, but does not include the original version of "Me and Bobby McGee," which makes Greatest Hits the better purchase for ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $19.19!
7	Complete A and B Sides 1963-1970 (2006) more music like this by Dusty Springfield It's practically a cliché to say that Dusty Springfield was the greatest white soul singer to ever come out of the U.K., but like most clichés, it's a commonplace wisdom that's based in an obvious fact. While most blue-eyed soul belters sounded as if they were determined to worry a song into submission though brute force and melismatic torture, ... see all copies from $10.17! new only from $10.17!
8	Pearl [Legacy Edition] (2005) more music like this by Janis Joplin After the live Cheap Thrills, Pearl is undeniably Janis Joplin's studio classic, and her final recording, released posthumously. She departed the earth at the very top of her game creatively. The album was recorded with a less-is-more approach -- the explosive horn section so prevalent on Kozmic Blues was replaced by a rootsier, more organic ... see all copies from $13.69! new only from $13.69!
9	Love, Janis (2001) more music like this by Janis Joplin This companion album to the hit musical features spoken word excerpts of Joplin's letters home to her family, read by the cast member playing the troubled, deceased star. Thankfully, it's Joplin herself singing all the familiar tunes. "Piece of My Heart," "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)," and "Me and Bobby McGee" are all dusted off once again for ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
10	In Concert (1972) more music like this by Janis Joplin About half of this two-record set features Janis Joplin with Big Brother & the Holding Company in 1968, performing songs like "Down on Me" and "Piece of My Heart." The rest, recorded in 1970, finds her with her backup group, Full Tilt Boogie, mostly performing songs from I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! Joplin puts herself out on-stage, both ... see all copies from $5.21! new only from $6.06!
11 view cover	Live (2006) more music like this by Howard Tate About a year after masterful soul singer Howard Tate returned to active duty with the album Rediscovered following nearly 30 years out of the music business, he was booked to play a major music festival in Denmark, and someone had the good sense to commit his set to tape. To listen to Live, an album drawn from that Denmark concert, you wouldn't ... see all copies from $10.72! new only from $12.69!
12 view cover	The Collection [1995] (1995) more music like this by Janis Joplin Sony repackaged and re-released the major albums Janis Joplin released -- Big Brother & the Holding Company's Cheap Thrills, I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama!, and Pearl -- as a slipcased box set. It's not a bad way to acquire the albums if you don't already own them, but there are no bonus tracks or new packaging or remastering, which means ... see all copies from $23.16! new only from $26.68!
13 view cover	Get It While You Can: The Legendary Sessions (1995) more music like this by Howard Tate Tate's entire Verve output, condensed into a tidy 17-track compilation, including all of his late '60s singles for the label, and one previously unreleased track. Solid period soul with a slight eclectic bent for the blues, gospel, and some pop influences. Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide see all copies from $87.49!
14 view cover	Smooth Grooves: The '60s, Vol. 2: Mid-'60s (1997) more music like this by Various Artists The Smooth Grooves series moves into the mid-'60s with 16 tracks by both soul giants (Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Sam & Dave, the Impressions) and a smattering of performers whose success was primarily confined to the R&B charts (Walter Jackson, Lorraine Ellison, and Howard Tate, who does the original version of "Get It While ... see all copies from $5.25!
15 view cover	Janis Joplin: This Ain't No Tribute Series -- All Blues'd Up! (2002) more music like this by Various Artists Janis Joplin: This Ain't No Tribute Series -- All Blues'd Up! is an unusual way to pay tribute (or apparently not pay tribute) to the music surrounding Janis Joplin, whether it be songs that she wrote or just performed. Offering new versions of "Piece of My Heart," "Mercedes Benz," and many others, the album features modern electric blues artists ... see all copies from $8.95!

19 view cover	Anthology (1980) more music like this by Janis Joplin 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 ... see all copies from $21.99! new only from $21.99!
20 view cover	Pearl/I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! (1988) more music like this by Janis Joplin This edition of Columbia Europe's Two Originals series features a pair of LPs by Janis Joplin: I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! and Pearl, originally issued on Columbia in 1969 and 1971, respectively. Highlights among the 18 tracks include "Move Over," "Me and Bobby McGee," and "Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)." Al Campbell, All Music Guide see all copies from $2.66! new only from $28.99!
21 view cover	The Jerry Ragovoy Story: Time Is on My Side 1953-2003 (2008) more music like this by Various Artists He might not be as well as known as Burt Bacharach, Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller, or even other such behind-the-scenes figures as Bert Berns. But Jerry Ragovoy produced and/or arranged and/or wrote many fine soul-pop records -- too many, in fact, to fit into one 24-track anthology. But this disc does have a lot of them, and gives a good idea of the ... see all copies from $17.09! new only from $17.09!
22 view cover	Hit Collection (2007) more music like this by Janis Joplin see all copies from $12.33! new only from $12.33!

Thanks also to a more consistent set of songs, the results are magnificent -- given room to breathe, Joplin's trademark ... see all copies from $12.22! new only from $12.22!
24	Get It While You Can (1966) more music like this by Howard Tate Fine Jerry Ragovoy production and soulful, wailing vocals from Tate. Includes original versions of "Get It While You Can" and "Look at Granny Run Run." Christine Ohlman, All Music Guide see all copies from $93.75!
25	Let Them Eat Rock more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $8.00! new only from $8.00!
