Joni Mitchell Archive

Rock ‘n’ roll excess – and that’s just the price…Universal Music are to release a five-CD super deluxe edition of the soundtrack to Cameron Crowe’s film Almost Famous (released in 2000).

106-track, 6CD Box Set retrospective from singer/songwriter Iain Matthews. Features 2022 remasters of his four albums with legendary record producer Sandy Roberton (‘Stealin' Home’, ‘Siamese Friends’, ‘Spot Of Interference’ and ‘Shook’) Contains 50% previously unreleased material, including early songwriting demos and multiple live performances. Musician and singer-songwriter Iain Matthews should need no introduction. He was an original member of legendary folk rock band Fairport Convention from 1967 to 1969 before leaving to form Matthews Southern Comfort, who scored a UK number one in 1970 with Joni Mitchell's ‘Woodstock’. In the early 1970s, as well as recording solo for Vertigo and Elektra, Iain played in folk rock “supergroup” Plainsong. Collectively, this body of work established Iain as a master-craftsman of both his own songs and those of others – a tradition he has continued to explore down the decades.
