A slightly flawed collection drawn from the three-CD box set Janis, this still isn’t a bad introduction to Haight-Ashbury’s favorite blues shrieker. Skimming Cheap Thrills, Kosmic Blues, and Pearl, the disc catches some of Joplin’s most stunning moments. In acknowledging the “rarities” aspect of the box, however, Essential occasionally goes wrong; the acoustic demo version of “Me and Bobby McGee” is incredibly touching, but a strange choice if there’s room for only one. The must-have version remains the full-blown take heard on Pearl and Janis Joplin’s Greatest Hits. That there’s enough interest in Janis remaining to justify a set like this one is heartening, though. –Rickey Wright
