How many albums did Janis put out?
Janis had recorded three Lp’s by the time of her death. Big Brother and the Holding Co. originally on the Mainstream label (1967) and Cheap Thrills on the Columbia label (1968) with Big Brother. I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again, Mama was recorded on the Columbia label (1969) with the Kozmic Blues Band. Janis died while working on the third LP to be released on the Columbia label, with the Full Tilt Boogie Band. Columbia decided to take the loss of not releasing another album when they heard the recordings created for the LP. Through the determination of the members of the Full Tilt Boogie, the album was finally released as “Pearl” almost a year after Janis’ death. All recorded after have all been posthumous.
