Description

Janis Ian is preparing for a last North American Tour (see her website for information)! After moving and downsizing, most of her memorabilia has gone to the Janis Ian Archives. She's also picked a few items to sell in order to benefit the Pearl Foundation. This is one of those items.
Recorded live for the BBC's
Old Grey Whistle Test
in 1976, the songs on this out of print, signed CD are Jesse (later recorded by Shirley Bassey), Got to Get Up, the iconic At Seventeen, In The Winter, Applause, Bright Lights & Promises, I Would Like to Dance, Tea & Sympathy, Tattoo,and His Hands. At the time, Janis' album
Between the Lines
was a hit in the United States, and she was touring the United Kingdom in the hope that something would break there. Funnily enough, "At Seventeen" wasn't the recording that gave her a career in Europe; that had to wait three years, for "Fly Too High" and the
Night Rains
album. This is a rare look at a very shy Janis, trying to deal with going from the United States' sold out crowds who were already familiar with her previous two albums, to a UK audience just beginning to know her.
Like all other items listed from this account, 100% of the proceeds after eBay fees will go to the Pearl Foundation*.  This is an opportunity for you to get a rare Janis Ian CD and support good works at the same time.
The winner needs to pay for this item within two days of the close of the auction.  It will be shipped within two business days of receiving verification of payment.
Thanks for looking and thanks for your support of Janis and The Pearl Foundation.

The Pearl Foundation (named after Janis Ian's mother, Pearl) is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) public charitable foundation providing scholarships for "returning students". It's
funded solely through donations from fans, friends, complete strangers, and Janis Ian and Patricia Snyder. We don't have board meetings in The Bahamas or pay any salaries; everything but the actual tax preparation and filing fees is donated. Our annual costs have never exceeded ,500 (the cost of tax preparation and filing), and so far we have given away over ,235,500.00
in endowed scholarships.
