Joni Mitchell actually didn’t play Woodstock because of scheduling conflicts. Her boyfriend, at the time, Graham Nash performed (for only the second time) with his band Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. The song was partly inspired by his account and tells the fictional story of a festival-goer’s experience while traveling to the festival. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young actually did a cover of the song which became the better known version.
This French sleeve uses Amelia, which was available from local dry-transfer manufacturer Mecanorma as Orea. The narrow grotesque is probably their British Inserat Extra Condensed. It is virtually identical to Letraset’s Compacta.
