Released June 22, 1971. 1. All I Want Lyrics. The Blue album, there’s hardly a dishonest note in the vocals. At that period of my life, I had no personal defenses. I felt like a cellophane wrapper on a pack of cigarettes. I felt like I had absolutely no secrets from the world, and I couldn’t pretend in my life to be strong. With song after song of regrets and sorrow, this may be the ultimate breakup album. Its whispery minimalism is also Mitchell’s greatest musical achievement

Joni Mitchell’s singing, her songwriting, her whole presence give off a feeling of vulnerability that one seldom encounters even in the most arty reaches of the music business. In For Free, her one song about songwriting, she declared that she sang for fortune and those velvet curtain calls. But she long ago renounced the curtain calls; and her songs, like James Taylor’s, are only incidentally commercial: Her primary purpose is to create something meaningful out of the random moments of pain and pleasure in her life. It is also the most focused album: Blue is not only a mood and a kind of music, it is also Joni’s name for her paramour. The fact that half the songs on the album are about him give it a unity which Ladies lacked. In fact, they are the chief source of strength of this very powerful album. Several of the lesser cuts on Blue give every indication of having sat in Joni’s trunk for some time.
Joni Mitchell highlights all of her singing and song writing talent in Blue, crafting each song with utmost care. Each element of the album is composed with unrivalled passion, from the magic lyrics to the heartfelt vocals. That said, many listeners will drop out after one quick listen. I grew up with this album playing in my house all the time. It was the only Joni Mitchell album my mom had, and I sort of took it from there. This is truly a great album of songs. I really can't say enough about it.
Stereo vinyl lp! Joni Mitchell: Blue! 1971 Reprise Release! Fold-Open Gatefold Cover With Full Lyrics! . This album is highly autobiographical and universal at the same time. Consistently breaking away from what she has done in the past, Joni Mitchell fought with her record company to release this collection of introspective music, which they told her she would risk ending her music career. I think I've run out of names. To think that Joni Mitchell has never identified herself as a musician, but a painter who got sidetracked making music, might explain.
In 1979 Mitchell reflected, " The " Blue " album, there ' s hardly a dishonest note in the vocals.

Notes
Smooth gatefold sleeve and plain inner sleeve;smooth tan 'riverboat' labels have a small 'W' Warners logo in perimeter text at right.
Unlike Blue and Blue which display a 'Made In UK' label text, this release has 'Manufactured in the UK' label text suggesting possibly, an even later pressing date than those, whenever they was pressed. The label itself is smooth format.
The cover sleeve is very dark such that the title 'Blue' is barely visible.
