Description
Joni Mitchell Blue vinyl MS 2038 Reprise 1971 RE-2 Pressing BG mastering VG/VG+
Joni Mitchell – Blue
Reprise Records MS 2038
Original U.S. pressing, RE-2 lacquer
This pressing features the RE-2 lacquer revision with a BG inscription in the deadwax, widely attributed to mastering engineer Bernie Grundman. His cuts are known for their clarity, balanced tonality, and detailed midrange—qualities that suit the intimate, acoustic nature of Blue. Many collectors specifically seek out BG-marked copies for their superior sound.
A landmark singer-songwriter album and one of the most acclaimed releases of the 1970s, featuring “California,” “River,” and “A Case of You.”
