Janis Ian captured the frustrations, awkwardness, and inner turmoil of teenaged existence with a clarity and maturity well beyond her tender age. Recorded when she was just 15 years old, Janis Ian was released in February 1967 with the controversial Top 20 hit single "Society's Child". A dozen or so labels rejected the Shadow Morton produced recording about interracial romance before it found release on Verve Folkways. A radio station in Atlanta was burned to the ground for playing it, and Janis received death threats for writing it.

Recorded with some of New York's finest session musicians, including Artie Butler on harpsichord, piano, and organ, Vinnie Bell and Al Gorgoni on guitars, Joe Mack on bass, and Buddy Saltzman on drums, Janis Ian--a Billboard Pop No. 29 hit album--has miraculously never been issued in Europe on CD. And this MONO mix, direct from the original Verve masters, has never before been made available on CD anywhere in the world. Untill NOW!
