Between the Lines was the second CD to be released by CBS Records. Back in 1983, it was a brand new format; companies didn't want to invest much money in case it failed. They didn't worry about artwork, they left out inserts, lyrics and credits, and they never re-mastered. Well, times changed. We learned how to re-master for best CD quality, we learned how to recreate artwork so the smaller format still looked good - but Between the Lines never got fixed. Instead, it languished, with the artwork deteriorating, no insert, and fans complaining . 

Janis began re-mastering projects with her old catalogue about two decades ago, but this is the first time she's been able to completely re-create the original vinyl as a CD. Updated art reflects correct coloring, with complete insert, and the entire album re-mastered from original analogue sources, a six month process overseen by Janis, the late Brooks Arthur (original producer and engineer on this project), and Steve Berkowitz  (multiple Grammy-winner for his work with Miles Davis and Bob Dylan). By special arrangement with Sony Legacy US, we are able to offer this only on Janis' website. That's correct; it is only available here.

We've bundled it with The Light at the End of the Line because these two Grammy nominees represent a good portion of the arc of Janis' career - her first huge album, and her last.

One Between The Lines CD (nominated for 5 Grammy Awards; winner of two)
One The Light at the End of the Line CD (currently nominated for the 2023 Grammy Awards' "Best Folk Album 2022")
