	Between The Lines Used - Vinyl - PC 33394 1975 2nd press. “This is Janis Ian's second album from her re-emergence in the early to mid-'70s as one of the genre's most inspired and original singer/songwriters. While this title houses Ian's biggest international hit, the confessional "At Seventeen," the entire effort combines her honest and confessional lyrics with an equally engaging blend of pop/rock and definite jazz and blues. She assembled much of the same ensemble that had worked on her previous long-player, Stars (1975), and much of the material retains the same warmth and intimacy in both her craft as well as the presentation. Unlike the more somber and introverted tracks that dominate Between the Lines (1975), the disc commences with a prime example of Ian's infectious coziness on the light and airy "When the Party's Over." This is one of the title's more straightforward love songs and features an appropriately lilting counter-harmony from Dennis Pereca. More typical are the somewhat dark and oblique "From Me to You," "The Come On," and the despairing title track. Darker still are "In the Winter" and the abject loneliness of "Tea and Sympathy" -- both of which feature some engaging arrangements courtesy of famed arranger/conductor Ron Frangipane, whose clients include Melanie and Townes Van Zandt as well as both John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Underlying the heady orchestration and truly at the center of Ian's skill are her emotively powerful yet reserved melodies.” All Music Guide – Lindsay Planer more

	For All The Seasons Of Your Mind New - Vinyl - FTS 3024 Sealed 1967 Stereo Original. “Janis Ian Followed Up Her Self-Titled Debut With The Appropriately Trippy For All The Seasons Of Your Mind (1968). Her No-Nonsensical Approach And Bellicose Lyrical Style Was Poignantly Defined By The Widely Banned Single "Society's Child", Which Dealt With Interracial Relationships. The Singer/Songwriter Allows For A Bit Of Psychedelic Poetry To Colour Her Commentaries. Again, She Is Accompanied By Studio Musicians Whom Ian Gives Full And Respective Credit For Their Contributions -- A Rarity For Many Solo Artists In The Late ‘60s. The Band Provide Ian With A Variety Of Sonic Pallets Ranging From The Sitar Twang Of The Opening Title Track To The Baroque Orchestration That Graces The Instrumental Introduction Of "Insanity Comes Quietly To The Structured Mind". There Are Several Introspective And More Traditional Folk Tunes Including The Stark "There Are Times", Which Foreshadows Laura Nyro's "New York Tendaberry" And The Scathing Observational Statement On The Status Of The Aged On "Shady Acres". The Quiet And Personal "Evening Star" Hearkens Toward Ian's Future Jazz-Inspired Works. She Maintains A Delicate Command Of The Stirring And Moody Piano Inflections That Trickle All Around Her Vocals In A Sort Of Improvisational Dance. The Track Also Has The Maturity Of A Pop Music Standard From The Likes Of Gershwin Or Cahn. Ian Slightly Bends The Piano Voicings To Replicate Her Own Soulful Intonations. One Of The Hidden Gems On The LP Is The More Contemporary Minor Chord Masterpiece "Bahimsa". The Performance Evokes A Distinct European Flavour That Might Suggest The Incredible String Band Or Pentangle.” All Music Guide - Lindsay Planer. more

	Janis Ian Used - Vinyl - FT-3017 1967 US original on deep grooved gold Verve Forecast label; Jacket has Verve Folkways printed, light ring wear. "This is the eponymous debut long-player from Janis Ian, who had already written and recorded this disc of completely original material at the tender age of 15. Her brutal honesty and in-your-face ethos were at least three decades too early for the mid-'60s American mainstream pop consumer. However, by the turn of the century, the same audience would embrace similarly liberated and otherwise angst-ridden female artists such as Jewel and Alanis Morissette. The album was commissioned by Atlantic Records who, after hearing the highly controversial material, copped out and declined to release it. After being shopped around to a majority of the major and independent record labels, the single "Society's Child" was picked up by the Forecast subsidiary of the primarily jazz and vocal pop Verve Records. The song's subject matter -- dealing with teenage interracial relationships -- garnered the attention of conductor Leonard Bernstein, who featured it in a segment of his CBS-TV prime-time network special Inside Pop: The Rock Revolution. This exposure garnered more attention for both the track and the young artist. In early 1967 this album was released, revealing the depth of Ian's craft. While her roots are decidedly folky, her material traverses through a number of genres. One of the more prominent motifs is the dark Baroque flavor accompanying tracks such as "Society's Child," "Janey's Blues," and the stunningly poignant "Hair of Spun Gold" -- a deliciously noir tale that had been published in 1963 by the acclaimed and revered folk music journal Broadside when Ian was a mere 12 years old. There are also a couple of trippy blues-rockers, such as the precocious "Too Old to Go 'Way Little Girl" and the punky protest-filled "Younger Generation Blues." However, the vast majority of Janis Ian is steeped in the acoustic-based folk music that she had immersed herself in during her concurrent sets in and around Greenwich Village at venerable venues such as the Gaslight Café and Kettle of Fish. "Then Tangles of My Mind" and the Dylan-esque "I'll Give You a Stone if You'll Throw It" are both intimate examinations. Also noteworthy are the teen prostitution "Pro-Girl" and "New Christ Cardiac Hero," a biting satire of the ambiguous social role that was being acted out by most organized religions of the time in an attempt to remain relevant to an increasingly disenfranchised youthful audience. The confrontational nature of much of the material on this disc would carry over into her three remaining efforts on Verve/Forecast, as well as become a touchstone for Ian's future work."

	Night Rains Used - Vinyl - JC 36139 1979 US original in shrink with original custom printed inner sleeve. Features the likes of Ron Carter and Chick Corea among others. Mastered by Bob Ludwig. In "Night Rains," Janis Ian crafts an album that is both introspective and richly textured, embodying the singer-songwriter's signature blend of lyrical poignancy and melodic sophistication. Released in 1979, the record sees Ian navigating the twilight of the 1970s with a deft fusion of folk, pop, and jazz influences, creating an evocative soundscape that resonates with both melancholy and warmth. The album's production, managed by Ron Frangipane, is polished yet intimate, allowing Ian's expressive voice to remain front and center. Tracks like "Fly Too High," which reached commercial success, exhibit a dynamic energy that contrasts with the more contemplative numbers, showcasing Ian’s versatility and command over her craft. Ian's songwriting on "Night Rains" is marked by a profound emotional depth, reflecting on themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with an unflinching honesty that has become her trademark. The title track, "Night Rains," encapsulates the album's essence with its haunting melody and poignant lyrics, while songs like "Here Comes the Night" and "Lay Low" reveal a nuanced exploration of solitude and longing. Ian’s ability to marry introspection with universal appeal is on full display, supported by lush arrangements that highlight her skillful guitar work and the subtle, yet effective, orchestration that underpins many of the tracks. The album stands as a testament to Janis Ian's enduring artistry, cementing her place as a thoughtful and compelling voice in the landscape of contemporary music. more
	Present Company Used - Vinyl - SKAO-683 1971 US original Jacksonville pressing on green target Capitol label. Strong VG++ vinyl; Clean hole punch to jacket. Recorded in San Francisco November-December 1970. Produced by Jerry Corbitt. "This could accurately be described as Janis Ian's first comeback album. After four Verve albums during her teenage years, as well as the hit single "Society's Child," Ian struggled through her remaining albums for the label, battling indifferent record executives and A&R people. Although quite low in spirit and somewhat depressing, those final Verve albums were still breathtaking. Here, on her first (and only) Capitol album after breaking the Verve contract, Ian experienced a wonderfully positive musical rebirth, which resulted in an extremely buoyant record both musically and spiritually. Tracks such as "He's a Rainbow," "Here in Spain," and the title track are uplifting and exciting as well. The album is also Ian's loosest affair, and this may have to do with ex-Youngblood Jerry Corbett's role in production and musicianship." All Music Guide – Matthew Greenwald more

	Revenge Used - Vinyl - GRALP 301 1995 UK Only Vinyl Rarity. “The Second Album Of Janis Ian's Third Career As A Recording Artist Found Her Singing Love Songs Full Of Violent Imagery And Story Songs About Desperate Characters. Opening With "Ready For War," And Ian Used Metaphors Of Armed Struggle To Describe Romantic Interaction, Following With "Take No Prisoners" And Later, In "Stolen Fire," Depicting Infidelity In Promethean Terms. And Even When She Employed More Conventional Imagery, As In "Take Me Walking In The Rain," The Album's Catchiest Song With Its Familiar Rock & Roll Chord Progression (Think "Every Breath You Take," "Billie Jean," And Countless Others), Ian Gave The Song A Demanding, Erotic Edge That Made Love Seem Less Appealing Than Urgent. "Love," She Noted In The Album-Closing "When Angels Cry," "Is A Four Letter Word" (A Statement No Less Powerful For Having Been Made 30 Years Earlier By Bob Dylan). And So, She Added, Was Hope: In Songs Like "Davy," "Ruby," And "The Mission," She Painted Sympathetic Portraits Of Homelessness And Prostitution. The Effect, When Set To Her Typically Restrained, Melodic Tunes And Sung In Her Precise, Sometimes Clipped Voice, Was Of A Tough, Adult Worldview. Of Course, That Was Not So Far Removed From The View Ian Had Held In The Songs She Wrote Back When She Was A Teenager”. William Ruhlmann, AMG. more
