A new way to experience ‘Court and Spark’ ✨
Rhino High Fidelity presents a new audiophile edition of ‘Court and Spark,’ the landmark 1974 album that marked a creative and commercial high-water mark for Joni Mitchell, blending folk, jazz, and pop into one of her most celebrated works. Featuring “Help Me,” “Free Man In Paris,” and “Down To You,” the album earned multiple GRAMMY® nominations and remains one of the defining albums of its era.
Limited to 5,000 copies worldwide, the release features glossy tip-on gatefold packaging, newly written liner notes, and individually numbered copies. Available now exclusively at Rhino.com and select Warner Music Group stores internationally. Link in bio.
