Album Review
18 Essential Songs is a one-disc distillation of the triple-disc Janis box set. Running 70 minutes, it is a more extensive best-of than the ten-track 1973 Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits album. But it is denied "first pick" status because, unlike that album, it does not contain the hit version of Joplin's only number one single, "Me and Bobby McGee." (It does, however, contain an alternate demo version of that song.)
Customer Reviews
Best Janis collection!
If you have to have only one CD this would be it. As far as I'm concerned this has the best version of Ball and Chain. It is fantastic. The rest are, of course, great as well. I have lost my copy 3 times and instead of getting any other box set or collection I get this one because of the Ball and Chain! I hope you enjoy it! I know that you will.

If you want some Janis and don't know what to buy . . .this "IS" the one to own!
Enjoy
Beautiful
On this album is the demo version of 'Summertime' and not the actual one that was released. I've heard both, and why this one wasn't chosen I will never know.
