Judy Collins - Wildflowers - 1967 - Elektra Records - Folk - Vinyl LP/Record Album - Used

This 1967 release of Wildflowers represents a pivotal moment in Judy Collins’ career, marking her sixth studio album and her most successful commercial peak on the Billboard 200. Released by Elektra Records under the catalog number EKS-74012, the album is a cornerstone of the 1960s chamber-folk movement, featuring lush, baroque-influenced orchestrations arranged and conducted by Joshua Rifkin. It is perhaps best known for introducing the world to Collins’ iconic interpretation of Joni Mitchell’s "Both Sides, Now," but it also serves as a landmark for including her first three original compositions, such as the evocative "Since You Asked." Beyond her own songwriting, Collins interprets the works of Jacques Brel and Leonard Cohen with a crystalline vocal clarity that captures the poetic, introspective spirit of the late sixties. Whether you are a dedicated collector of Elektra pressings or a newcomer to the folk revival era, this LP offers a sophisticated listening experience that remains one of the most celebrated recordings of its decade.
