Miss Joplin's last few works make up the Pearl album, a fan fave since its release in 1971.  Today, over 40 years later, it gets an impressive overhaul that any Janis Joplin fan would love.  The original album updated, alternate takes, studio chatter and other surprises make up this 2-CD release hitting your favorite music outlet today.  Mine is Amazon.  The track rundown is below.
