Vinyl plays with occasional crackles (play-graded). Double LP. Gate-fold cover looks good; a few creases near edges; moderate scuffing, tiny surface abrasions, and surface impressions (front/back/inner-gate). Inner-sleeves are original (photos). Spine is easy-to-read with some wear and discoloration. Minor shelf-wear along top-edge, heavier wear along bottom-edge and corners. Openings are crisp with signs of light use and divots. (Notch in top-right.)
Don Juan's Reckless Daughter is a 1977 double album by the folk/pop/rock musician Joni Mitchell. It is unusual for its experimental style, expanding even further on the jazz fusion sound of Mitchell's Hejira from the year before. Mitchell has stated that, close to completing her contract with Asylum Records, she allowed this album to be looser than anything she'd done previously. Don Juan's Reckless Daughter peaked at No. 25 on the Billboard charts and attained gold record status within three months. Much of the album is experimental, but especially so are: Overture, played with six simultaneous guitars, some in different tunings from others, with vocal echo effects; The Tenth World, an extended-length instrumental of Latin percussion; and Dreamland, which features only percussion and voices (including Chaka Khan). The album jacket is a photomontage and includes several photographs of Mitchell. In the foreground she is in blackface as her "reputed alter ego, a black hipster named Art Nouveau."
