I have had the LP of this since I was 17. I am now 71. With all due respect to Mssrs Dylan, Cohen, and Springsteen, and to Mlles Nyro and Ian, it is Joni Mitchell and Joni Mitchell alone who was the greatest singer-songwriter of my lifetime. Mitchell's gift for melody, and her lyrics, which approach pure poetry, are simply incomparable.

My grandpa and step grandma took my sister and me to Catalina Island last year. I’ll never forget the boat ride to get there. It was early in the morning, 7 or 8am. The sky was full of clouds, it was quite windy, and slightly raining. We got to sit next to a window and watch the playful ocean, and I spotted dolphins a little distance away. It gave me a feeling I don’t think I could describe with words if I tried. It simply felt like this album-Song to a Seagull.

This woman exists outside the typical conceptions of modern music. Always exhilarating to hear her soul speak through everything she's ever done.

Born in November 1943, Joni Mitchell was 24 - 25 years old when she performed/recorded these songs. With songs and music composed by her, what a genius musician sharing the world with us still - fortunate us.

Truly one of the most creative people to ever live

She sings to the soul. And, my soul has heard her all of my life. Smiles and tears, sometimes at the same time. This old woman can only thank you.

Joni is like George Harrison in that she made so much music that most of her fans have never heard it all, but will keep discovering her gifts to us long after she passes into the other realms. I hope to hear it all before I pass myself 💛🌈🙌

Ahhhhh, we lived in a time of poets who wrote storys and put them to music. Will we ever see their like again? ❤️

1968. I bought this album and began the start of my Joni Mitchell journey. Her music has been a part of my life since. Grateful I walked this earth the same time as this magical soulful person.

Joni....what can I say? You have been by my side since the beginning of it all. My best friend, my sister, and so much more. My heartfelt thanks, for then, for now and for always

Listening this morning, this grey bleak morning, to Joni Mitchell’s premiere album entitled “Songs from a Seagull” which marked the first time many of us heard her mesmerizing voice which gave rise to countless dreams as we stretched out on sofas, sat comfortably in chairs, and let her words carry us to places our younger selves could only imagine. With eyes closed, a cigarette in hand, its smoke swirling up into the air, her lyrics emerged as the center of our musical compass. Her voice invited us to dream. And all these years later, never tiring of hearing the powerful sweetness of her voice and the lyrical stories of love, loss, hope and transformation.

There's something about her voice that simply transports me to another, better place. Thank you, Joni, for putting this album on here, in full. I really appreciate it. And thank you for all the many other songs that have lifted us all.

I adore every song on this album, I've listened to it (and sung along) for more than half my life, since discovering Joni in my teens ❤ thank you

When I first decided to listen to Joni Mitchell in an attentive way, I started with this, her debut album, so that I could get a notion of her evolution as an artist. And what an evolution it was! This album in particular will always thus have a special place in my aural memories, so much so that it sparked even more my own interest in poetry, painting and music. Thank you, Joni. Seminal is but a word, but one that suits you like silk.

I am 30 years old and am only just now experiencing the music of Joni Mitchell. My mother was a fan growing up. I love this album, Blue is also very good. Thank you, Joni. ❤️

Saw Joni before this album came out it was January or Feb. 1968 at Club 47 Cambridge Mass. After her first set before about 60 people i knocked on her dressing room door when it opened i asked if i could see her and i was let in talked to her for about 15 minutes she signed the program for me will never forget that night.

This is my all time favourite album, now at 65 it still transports me back over the years……the words are beyond beautiful….perfection ❤️

Her legacy's in the very heart for the whole world

A work of Art on the level of Van Gogh’s Sunflowers…….absolutely sublime! Perfection! Thank you, Joni! ❤️

Madam, you created a big and important Part of Music History. It is always a great Pleasure to hear and feel your songs. It is always a outburst of Surprises for me.....I love the Pictures behind the Pictures.

I am so grateful for the talent, beauty and inspiration of Joni Mitchell, and to have grown up with this album.

Her debut album what a masterpiece which heralded much bigger things to come. Each song is incredible which to me crescendos to CACTUS TREE in my opinion one of the greatest songs ever written her lyrics guitar and voice are mindblowing much love joni from down under.

This album and Joni's voice are like a beautiful fairy tale of dreams, hope, imagination and Love. Love you Joni ❤

the best album of hers, cactus tree kills me every time

I was 14 years old, baby sitting for some cool neighbors that let me use their turntable the first time I heard this album. I'm in my late 60's and it still makes me smile. :)

EVERYONE here wishes they could thank her.

I was 14 when this album was released , Night In The City just did it for me and I was hooked ! Joni is the blessed one ! We are so lucky to have been around for this time ! ✌️ ♥️ 🎶 ☮️ 🇬🇧

Happy to see this album on my feed this morning. Joni's songs take me out of my head like a good book :)

Joni, is my favorite artist, singer songwriter. Thank you, for all of your creations🙏

Thanks for uploading the full album, I'm sure we all Joni fans appreciate it :)

The totality of her art , her talent , her soul , her voice , her lyrics transport the listener ( devoted fan ) to a very high place , way beyond the ordinary . Thank you , Queen , your art endures and continues to inspire .

One of the greatest albums ever.-- absolutely brilliant.

What a lovely experience, listening to this album for the first time 🕊 Thank You, Joni! Your music is a healing thing

Thank you @Joni Mitchell, love this album, it's one I never acquired. Your music is a gift, and has helps calm me when my depression & PTSD are a challenge. Thank you beautiful Joni for sharing your beautiful music w/ the world! A true diamond in the rough❤

I was 17 when I heard Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire on the radio. I waited desperately for the DJ to announce the song and singer. I went directly to the record store and began to collect all the albums. Joni Mitchell’s music transformed my life, helped me to understand and define my deep emotions. Now at 68, I still sing the music and find comfort in the melodies and lyrics. What an incredible effect this music has had on my life. How lost I would have been without it. Thank you Joni❤️

cactus tree is my favourite off this album, a brilliant album that you don't tire of.

I remember playing this record over and over again and following along with the lyrics. Joni was showing us how to write songs.

Beautiful.

Cactus Tree is my favorite songwriting ever.

RIP David Crosby 😢😭 Long live Joni.

Joni's voice is so clear and melodic. Back in the days before autotune. I can hear the emotion and feeling in her voice, its beautiful.

Joni saved my life...

Wonder-FULL-y filled with wonder. (That's how Joni's art always strikes me)

This album is a masterpiece. My favorite LP from Joni. Her voice can take you to places you've never imagined. We are so lucky to get to experience Joni's music and art

A beautiful work of art! The album is a masterpiece

Joni's songs... With the depth and width of the Ocean, the warmth of a crackling fireplace in December... Girded in strength and timelessness.

Once again I’m lost in a beautiful world of colour , sound and words. Joni Mitchell’s music is woven into my late teenage and adult life. I’m 55 now.

This album is so beautiful, and although I have enjoyed Joni's music for 50 years, this is the first time I heard this..filling my heart with joy❤️💕💫

First song is "I had a King".... And on Graham Nash's album, Songs for Beginners, his song "I Used to be a King" is the hand in glove fit of the relationship that somehow went in different directions, despite the magnificence while it was alive. The regrets that will torture us til our last breath! Nobody escapes. And the lucky are very few. Michael From Mountains was the birthplace for Song For Sharon! Good Night Joni! But you're probably still up til dawn! LOL It's 4 am here in NY. I should talk!

Song to a Seagull" and "For the Roses" have special places in my heart..🤍🥀

My dear sister Honora introduced me to Joni's music at 22 when we were sharing a flat/apartment, and now at 70 I'm still discovering and enjoying them both.

What a Legend ♥️♥️♥️♥️

god i luv this album sm

Love your vocals. The pirate of penance was very 😎 🫶✨✨✨

I met her in 2000 at the Mendle...our encounter sent me on a better life trajectory.

Words can't begin to describe the beauty of this song

Thank you, Joni!

I listened to joni Mitchell with my mum who I sadly lost 4 years ago. Joni's music takes me back to happy memories, especially the blue album. Her music is my sanctuary when I am lost. Thank you Joni ❤❤

Joni, queen, please I beg you to put your music back on Spotify! :(

I'm here started to listening her music because of her BOTH SIDES NOW.

This album has been the soundtrack to my life, thank you Joni for adding such beautiful songs to the world…

Beautiful!!

My favourite album of Joni songs - every track is gorgeous.

I’ve gone through many phases of musical artists in my life but after discovering Joni on her first album (‘LP’ back then) in 1967 I have remained steadfastly loyal and mesmerised by her genius. No-one like her before or since, unique and magical. As in her lyrics, she ‘took my breath away’ and still does ❤

Une véritable boite à bijoux...

Beautiful music. Beautiful memories. I love Joni...

Fabulous debut album from Joni that even some of her ardent fans don't know about. Timeless!

Like a clear mountain stream, carrying me along to the sea.

Her music takes me back to a place and time that will stay with me forever. Our generation is leaving behind music that will never die.

Wow, I am age 64, and I have never heard this album. I always remember "Blue" the most, and her beige album, we listenend to her all high school years, and beyond. So nice to hear her again, and all the feelings and memories of another time which reminds me of who i am.

This is my favourite album ever. There is something so special about it. For dreamers.

I had forgotten how beautiful these songs are

Joni, your music is like therapy and magic at the same time. You've made a huge difference in my life. Your music has held me when no one else could. Thank you for existing and sharing your gift with this world, you've made it a better place to be🙏💚

Come into a garden with twisty vines, owls above asking for your ticket, slivers of sun crack the leaves on stems of flowers with colors you've never seen... and never will again. Take this trip and you will see me dancing on feathers burning from dragons fire. Joni is charm, song, a treasure of wonders.

Joni is above them all...an ethereal voice..never to be matched.

I bought this magical album as soon as it was released Joni is a genius singer songwriter and painter. I love everything joni has released I have all of her albums soundtrack to my life joni Mitchell forever ❤❤❤

Words cannot explain the absolute beauty, timbre and versatility in this voice... The best ever❤❤

Joni has put wondrous poetry into music. The first song on this album has such unusual chords. It sounds mythic to me.

I've been impatiently looking at the official website every day wondering when the next archive set will be released. Can't wait to hear demos from For the Roses!

Gibraltarian, stunningly powerful songs ! Thanks to Joni for these very personal stories, set to music.

This is not just a collection of exquisitely crafted songs, but a spellbinding universe which commands one's whole attention while the world as he knew it comes to a breathless standstill.

Thank you so much for giving us this beautiful Joni Mitchell collection. My day is better for having listened to it.

I was 16 when I fell in love for the first time with this music and this album. It has been many many years since I have revisited the vibrations these songs opened deep inside the inner spaces of deep places of awareness. Even though it was just an album, my feelings for this first love has never diminished. Thank You🤍

I'm 66 and this is the first time I have ever heard it before. Mesmerizing music ❣️

I love this album and i love Joni Mitchell, immense musician and artist.

Beautiful !🇫🇷🙏🏻👍🏼🍒

Thank You Perfect for a day , like today 🤘🏽❤️‍🔥

I have followed you Joni since the 60s! You are my favorite Guru! And endless praise of gratitude For expressing the soul of women! Love you!

she is the loving, gifted king

She brought a new depth of meaning and seriousness to pop culture. And she raised the bar on aesthetics all across the board. A prodigy for sure and I am very grateful to her. I can't I'm imagine the world without her.

I am almost 73 years old. I bought this album when it first came out and listen to it endlessly. I had not heard it in years (though Cactus Tree is a song I love to play and sing in open D tuning) and amazingly, when I turned this thing on I suddenly remembered all the words to the songs. Yeah, this brings it all back.

Thanks for uploading. Had this on vinyl years ago. It’s not on Spotify. I think Joni was one of the artist that refused to have her work on there. Good for her 🥰

And it's the original mix, which I prefer. Lovely!

I’ve always loved Mitchell, but sometimes life just drags you right past things like wonderful artists and their music, leaving furrowed fingernail grooves behind. Years later you might have a dream….. recently I dreamed I was bicycling along a dirt road lined with tall trees with my little sister and singing a Jonny Mitchell song I hadn’t heard in decades, and we knew every word, singing the song through to the end. It was wonderful. My beloved sister has been dead for quite a while. I awoke with tears of joy at seeing her again only to find that she was still gone, and that I’d just been dreaming… Apparently, in my old age, a lot of music has some wonderful associations that connect when I hear certain songs. It’s like someone spitting in the holy water when an album like this is constantly interrupted by crass commercials and ads for people too lazy to pick up a new dog toy when they go to the store, and might want some delivered to their house by some poor, overworked a**hole who would normally work at a steel mill if there were any left. But there aren’t. Yes, I’m a bitter old man, I’m ready to go home now, and see my sister and my other loved ones. Now there’s an ad on here from Amazon, wrecking what should have been a beautiful album of music. Music is crap today, and music is life.

what a great Artist one of the most inovative and creative of our last century ❤😊❤❤

Bellissima sorpresa, grazie di cuore Jony. From Italy.

So beautiful! The cleanest voice ever.

I am a "court and spark" kind of guy, I've been listening to it - and not a lot else by Joni - since it was released. One day, however, I saw this Album and for reasons I have yet to discover, I said to myself "I'm going to listen to this until I hit a track I don't care for". I got all the way through, started over - just to make sure I hadn't miss-heard something - and have completely fallen in love with this album. So beautiful and melodic and genuinely heart-felt...amazing.

I saw her live in 1971 at Boston Symphony Hall. she was alone on the stage and she played this whole album.

She sings our soul indeed 🎶🎶🎶🎶✨✨✨✨love Joni
