Revered worldwide for their groundbreaking role as 1960s San Francisco-based psychedelic rock pioneers channeling
everyone from John Coltrane to Bessie Smith into their own hard-driving sound, Big Brother and the Holding Company
introduced the one and only Janis Joplin to the world. Live tapes of Big Brother in its prime with Joplin fronting the
band are an extremely rare commodity, rendering The Lost Tapes a truly historic discovery.This two-CD set from Airline
Records contains no less than 12 stunning tracks–the entire first disc--that have never been released before in
any form, along with a second disc of equally thrilling live material that sees its first legitimate release on this
package.Consisting of guitarists Sam Andrew and James Gurley, bassist Peter Albin, drummer David Getz, and the mighty
Janis as their mind-blowing lead singer, Big Brother’s sets were liable to proceed in any number of contrasting
directions. Over the course of the concert that comprises the first disc, Janis belts her own blues-soaked “Women
Is Losers” as well as the subtly dynamic “Bye Bye Baby,” songs soon to be eminently familiar via the
band’s studio versions. There was also room on their set list that evening to investigate Tommy Tucker’s
tough shuffle “Hi-Heel Sneakers,” the riveting “Oh My Soul,” and an amazing 11-minute rendition
of the timeless spiritual “Amazing Grace.”

Even diehard Big Brother fans well acquainted with the material on the second disc have never encountered it in such
pristine condition, both discs benefitting from 24-bit mastering. Highlights on the second CD include rousing treatments
of “Let The Good Times Roll,” “I Know You Rider,” “Moanin’ At Midnight,”
“Hey Baby,” and the Albin-penned “Coo Coo.” Also aboard are the Port Arthur, Texas-born
Joplin’s pulverizing renderings of two songs forever associated with her brief but indelible musical
legacy,“Down On Me” and Big Mama Thornton’s “Ball And Chain.” This deluxe collection
features liner notes by Big Brother members Sam Andrew and David Getz; their warm, vivid reminiscences adding to the
immense appeal of the most extensive authorized domestic release currently available by the band. Big Brother was
already a powerhouse despite being together as a unit a relatively short time, and this is where it all began for Janis.
With The Lost Tapes, you’re sitting front row as they prepare to meet stardom head on.
