Honouring Janis Joplin: The Story of Pearl

This week marks the anniversary of Pearl reaching #1 on the Billboard charts, an achievement both triumphant and bittersweet. Just three months before its release, Janis Joplin left us far too soon, leaving behind an album that would become her defining statement. 

A raw, soulful reflection of her artistry, Pearl remains a testament to the fire, vulnerability, and passion that made Janis a legend.

Tracks like 'Me and Bobby McGee', a song gifted to her by friend and former flame Kris Kristofferson, became her first and only number-one hit. The playful 'Mercedes Benz', recorded just days before her passing, captures her free spirit, while 'Cry Baby' and 'A Woman Left Lonely' showcase the raw emotion that made her voice unforgettable. And then there’s 'Move Over', a defiant anthem of independence, proving Janis wasn’t just singing the blues—she was living them.

Beyond the music, Janis left behind a deeply personal record of her journey. Janis Joplin: Days & Summers, her signed limited edition scrapbook, offers a rare glimpse into her world—filled with handwritten letters, setlists, photographs, and memories in her own words.

As we reflect on Pearl’s lasting impact, we invite you to explore Janis’s story in this beautifully crafted edition. With only 1,650 copies available worldwide, now is the time to secure this rare piece of rock history.
