Farewell Song is a 1982 collection of nine previously unreleased recordings of Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Kozmic Blues Band, and Full Tilt Boogie Band. Tracks include Cheap Thrills-era outtakes and live performances; "Misery 'N", "Farewell Song", and "Catch Me Daddy".

Production

The recordings were enhanced through the use of devices such as the Lexicon 224 and the ADR Scamp Rack by producer Elliot Mazer, and the original bass by Peter Albin on "Farewell Song" was replaced with bass work by Mazer. Some members of Big Brother and the Holding Company were unhappy about some of these changes. The original versions can be found on the subsequent compilation Janis. One Night Stand was produced by Todd Rundgren and performed with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band and became a minor hit upon release. Tell Mama is the only Full Tilt Boogie Band track.
