I know that I have a few of Joni's 45s but don't know them all off the bat. But I do remember that
probably the most sought after single Joni released was "You Turn Me On I'm A Radio" which had the first ever officially recorded studio version of Joni doing "Urge For Going.", which was never released officially on one of her albums. I remember having several copies, as Asylum's vinyl (especially on 45) was not the best - ticks and pops from a brand new 45. I may have 6 or 7 of them now, and they're all "flawed" in the tick/pop sense; was glad to see her release it on the "Hits" CD. A beautiful young recording!
I'm pretty sure there was "Help Me"/Free Man In Paris and I believe one was "Raised On Robbery"/People's Parties; and "Good Friends"/Smokin' (Empty Try Another). I'm sure there are more, "Carey/?", "Both Sides Now"/?. etc.
Best regards,
Gary

First a joni monent
I was bringing my high school daughter home from school when Joni's woodstock from LOTC came on the radio so I sang and whistled thru it and then I said to Isabel you know the Counting Crows just covered this on there latest CD and its played in the movie Two Weeks Notice, then the next song came on of course it was The CC's version and at the end of it Isabel said Dad I like joni's singing it better. I like the laugh at the end.
So my question is how many 45's did Joni issue I sort of remember seeing one or two at the high school dance parties usally her songs were played as a interlude for couples to sneak of to dark corners, I do remember very slow dancing to For Free. The 45's are not listed on the jmdl or the JM site.
