Big Brother and The Holding Co. biography
In 1982, Columbia released the Janis Joplin album Farewell Song. The release displeased Big Brother's living members, since their original instruments were all replaced by studio musicians without consulting the band. James Gurley spoke about that in 1987, before the band's reunion: "It's just a total bullshit record...some producer's dream at CBS."
