A June, 1968 recording of Big Brother & The Holding Company at the Carousel Ballroom in San Francisco will be the first Legacy release of 2012.  Remastering the 14 song collection was one of the last projects of another legend, Owsley 'Bear' Stanley, before he lost his life in a car accident in March of last year.  Recorded by Owsley when Janis Joplin was on the verge of leaving Big Brother, the set is said to fully capture the unbridled energy of Janis as well as the rough abandon of her backing band. Stanley's wife, Sheilah, calls the recording as it is presented fully representative of  '...Bear's vision - how he heard the band live, and how he wanted to transmit... this phenomenal and inspirational music.'
