For The Roses

Joni Mitchell

RSD 2026 Rose Colored Vinyl edition

Joni's 1972 album, For The Roses, was her first for David Geffen's Asylum Records. Joni originally had intended the album cover to be art that she created that was illustrative of the song, "For The Roses," and showed her cynicism to the music business at the time. Geffen vetoed her artwork because he thought it was not a good look to have a horse with roses coming out of its ass! So Joni ultimately compromised to use the Joel Bernstein photo that was ultimately the cover.

 

This special limited edition for Record Store Day restores Joni's original vision for the cover artwork for the first time. Pressed on rose color vinyl.
