Joni Mitchell I always considered myself a painter first. When I was 20, that’s what I wanted to be. I sort of got into music as a lark, with [my first husband] Chuck Mitchell. I never thought I’d make any money from music Having taught herself how to play the guitar, Joni Mitchell’s monumental career began with regular busking on the streets of Toronto and performing small gigs around town before eventually signing to Reprise Records. This kick-started a slew of successful albums, most notably the release of Blue in 1971 that Rolling Stone cites as the 30th greatest album ever made – the highest placing album by a female – demonstrating just how significant her presence in the music world was (and still is) in a time where female singer-songwriters were few and far between. Over the span of her career, Joni Mitchell’s success and lyrical talent has transcended genres, with subtle hints of jazz, rock and pop carefully weaving themselves amongst her folk roots. Sounds to a Seagull Song to a Seagull (also known as Joni Mitchell) is the debut studio album. Did Joni Mitchell paint cover of song to the seagull? The Album sleeve is original work by Joni Mitchell. Note the space left for the photograph section on the back cover. It was donated by Joni to a Democratic presidential campaign fundraiser in 1968. Produced by David Crosby the album was recorded in 1967 at Sunset Sound and released on March 23, 1968 by Reprise Records. includes tracks I had a KIng Night in the City The Pirate of Penance Clouds Clouds is the second album , released on May 1, 1969, After releasing her debut album, . She produced most of the album and painted a self-portrait for its cover artwork. (The red flower is a prairie lily the provincial flower of Saskatchewan) Clouds has subtle, unconventional harmonies and songs about lovers, among other themes. The album charted at number 22 in Canada and number 31 in the United States. Clouds was generally well received by music critics. Ladies of the Canyon Ladies of the Canyon is the third studio album released in 1970. It peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard 200. The title makes reference to Laurel Canyon, a centre of popular music culture in Los Angeles during the 1960s. The album includes several of Mitchell's most noted songs, such as " Big Yellow Taxi ", "Woodstock" and "The Circle Game" Blue Blue is the fourth studio album released on June 22, 1971, Written and produced entirely by Mitchell, it was recorded in 1971 at A&M Studios . Created just after her breakup with Graham Nash and during an intense relationship with James Taylor Blue explores various facets of relationships from infatuation on "A Case of You" to insecurity on "This Flight Tonight". The songs feature simple accompaniments on piano, guitar and Appalachian dulcimer The album peaked at number 3 on the UK number 9 in Canada and number 15 on the Billboard Today, Blue is generally regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time; the cohesion of Mitchell's songwriting, compositions and voice are frequent areas of praise. In January 2000, The New York Times chose Blue as one of the 25 albums that represented "turning points and pinnacles in 20th-century popular music. In 2020, Blue was rated the third greatest album of all time in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums the highest entry by a female artist. For the Roses For the Roses is the fifth studio album . It was released in November 1972, between her two biggest commercial and critical successes—Blue and Court & Spark . For the Roses is perhaps best known for the hit single "You Turn Me On, I'm a Radio", which Mitchell wrote sarcastically out of a record company request for a radio-friendly song. The single was a success, peaking at number 25 on the Billboard chart, becoming Mitchell's first top 40 hit released under her own name (as a songwriter, several other performers had had hits with songs that she had written). "Cold Blue Steel and Sweet Fire", a menacing and jazzy portrait of her then lover James Taylor's heroin addiction, which was also released as a single, backed with "Blonde in the Bleachers" and the Beethoven-inspired "Judgment of the Moon and Stars" were also popular. Court & Spark Court and Spark is the sixth studio album. It was an immediate commercial and critical success—and remains her most successful album. Released in January 1974, it has been described as pop but also infuses Mitchell's folk rock style, which she had developed through her previous five albums, with jazz inflections. It reached No. 2 in the US and No. 1 in Canada and eventually received a double platinum certification by the RIAA, the highest of Mitchell's career. It also reached the Top 20 in the UK In 2020, it was ranked at number 110 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time The Hissing of the Summer Lawns The album initially received harsh criticism. In Rolling Stone, saying that the album's lyrics were impressive but the music was a failure. "If The Hissing of Summer Lawns offers substantial literature, it is set to insubstantial music... Four members of Tom Scott's L.A. Express are featured on Hissing, but their uninspired jazz-rock style completely opposes Mitchell's romantic style... The Hissing of Summer Lawns is ultimately a great collection of pop poems with a distracting soundtrack. Read it first. Then play it. However, the record's reputation has grown in stature over the years. Music writer Howard Sounes has called The Hissing of Summer Lawns Mitchell's masterpiece, "an LP to stand alongside Blood on the Tracks". Prince a lifelong fan of Mitchell, had loved the album, praising it in interviews. In 1977, Mitchell was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performancee for the album. Rolling Stone ranked the album at number 258 in the 2020 edition of its 500 greatest albums of all time Hejire Hejira is the eighth studio album The songs on the album were written during a series of road trips in 1975 and 1976, and reflect events that occurred during those trips, including several romantic relationships she had at the time. Characterized by lyrically dense, sprawling songs, as well as the overdubbed fretless bass playing of Jaco Pastorius (whom Mitchell had just met), Hejira continued the musician's journey beyond her pop records towards the freer, jazz-inspired music she would implement on later recordings. Some of the songs were written while Mitchell traveled as a member of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue tour, and she performed the album tracks "Coyote" and "Furry Sings the Blues" with The Band at their final concert (later released as Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz). The album did not sell as well as its predecessors, peaking at No. 22 in her native Canada. It reached No. 13 on the Billboard 200 pop album chart in the United States, where it was certified gold by the RIAA, and No. 11 in the UK, where it attained a silver certification. Critically, the album was generally well received, and in the years since its release, Hejira has been considered one of the high marks of her career. Don Juan's Reckless Daughter Don Juan's Reckless Daughter is a 1977 double album by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. Her ninth album, it is unusual for its experimental style, expanding even further on the jazz fusion sound of Mitchell's Hejira from the year before. Mitchell has stated that, close to completing her contract with Asylum Records, she allowed this album to be looser than anything she had done previously. Don Juan's Reckless Daughter was released in December 1977 to mixed reviews. It reached No. 25 on the Billboard charts and attained gold record status within three months. Mingus Mingus is the tenth studio album and a collaboration with composer and jazz musician Charles Mingus. Recorded in the months before his death, it would be Mingus's final musical project; the album is wholly dedicated to him. Mingus was released on June 13, 1979 The album is quite experimental, featuring minimalist jazz, over-plucked, buzzing acoustic guitars, and even wolves howling through "The Wolf That Lives in Lindsey". All of the lyrics are by Mitchell, while the music for four of the songs was composed by Mingus, three being new tunes, a fourth being his tribute to saxophonist Lester Young from his 1959 classic Mingus Ah Um, "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat", for which Mitchell wrote a set of lyrics. As with the release preceding, Don Juan's Reckless Daughter, Mitchell hired personnel from jazz fusion group Weather Report, notably bassist Jaco Pastorius to play on the sessions. Mingus would also mark the first reunion of saxophonist Wayne Shorter and pianist Herbie Hancock in the studio since recording together on Shorter's seminal Native Dancer album, featuring Milton Nascimento, released in September 1974. The album is spliced with excerpts, which are labelled "(Rap)", from recordings provided by Sue Graham Mingus, including a scat singing interplay between Joni and Mingus, and Charles and Sue arguing over his age at a birthday party. In "Funeral", Mingus and others discuss how long he will live and what his funeral will be like. He refers to the Vedanta Society and asserts that he is going to live longer than Duke Ellington, who died in 1974, aged 75, by saying, "I'm going to cut Duke!". "God Must Be a Boogie Man"—having taken shape two days after his death—was the only song Mingus was unable to hear. Mitchell suggests in the liner notes that Mingus would have found it hilarious. The song was re-recorded with orchestral accompaniment on Joni's 2002 album Travelogue.

Bossa nova is a style of samba developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is mainly characterized by a "different beat" that altered the harmonies with the introduction of unconventional chords and an innovative syncopation of traditional samba from a single rhythmic division. The "bossa nova beat" is characteristic of a samba style and not of an autonomous genre. Beginning on the tropical beaches of Rio de Janeiro in the late 1950s, when a small group of students, artists and musicians came together to create a new sound. ... It was a youthful celebration of romance, beach culture and sensual pleasure. Girl From Ipanema The song that lit the touch-paper for the bossa nova explosion in the US and the rest of the world was called “The Girl From Ipanema,” sung by Astrud Gilberto in a wispy but beguiling girlish voice, and which reached No.5 in the US pop singles chart in the summer of 1964. According to the Brazilian journalist Ruy Castro, the bossa beat – which was created by the drummer Milton Banana – was "an extreme simplification of the beat of the samba school", as if all instruments had been removed and only the tamborim had been preserved In line with this thesis, musicians such as Baden Powell, Roberto Menescal, and Ronaldo Bôscoli also claim that this beat is related to the tamborim of the samba school. BOSSA NOVA from GROOVE VINYL Bad, Gene Ammons Bossa Nova album was recorded in 1962 ,Throughout his spectacular career, tenor saxophonist Gene Ammons had several big hits, both singles and albums. One of those albums, Bad! Bossa Nova, paved the way for soulful players intent on exploring Latin music. 5 Clubs in Brazil that play Bossa Nova Beco das Garrafas Bip Bip Bar Vinícius Bar Bar do Tom Carioca da Gema In 1959, João Gilberto's bossa album was released, containing the tracks "Chega de Saudade" and "Bim Bom".Considered the landmark of the birth of bossa nova,[15] it also featured Gilberto's innovative way of singing samba, which was inspired by Dorival Caymmi With the LP Chega de Saudade, released in 1959, Gilberto consolidated the bossa nova as a new style of playing samba In 1960s, US jazz artists such as Stan Getz, Hank Mobley, Zoot Sims, Paul Winter and Quincy Jones recorded bossa jazz albums.

(Taken from Queens official website) QUEEN’S “BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY” REACHES RARE RIAA DIAMOND STATUS WITH MORE THAN 10 MILLION U.S. SALES / STREAM EQUIVALENTS QUEEN BECOMES FIRST BRITISH BAND IN MUSIC HISTORY TO EARN RIAA DIAMOND SONG AWARD BAND’S LANDMARK PLATINUM COLLECTION, VOL. 1-3 EARNS 5X PLATINUM RIAA CERTIFICATION (Thursday, March 25, 2021) More than four decades after its release, Queen’s iconic “Bohemian Rhapsody” continues to reach new milestones. The iconic song has been officially certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), representing 10 million or more in sales and stream equivalents in the United States. Queen is the first British band in music history to earn the Diamond song award. “This is incredible news. At times like this I have to pinch myself to be sure it’s real,” said Brian May. “All those wild dreams we had - this is beyond any of them. Huge thanks to all who have believed in us over the years.” “It’s a wonderful and gratifying thought to know the song has reached out and connected with so many people!” said Roger Taylor. “We thank you all...onwards.” This is the latest in a long line of extraordinary achievements for “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which was Queen's first Top 10 hit in the US. In the UK it went to #1 for 9 consecutive weeks, a record at the time, before returning to the top of the charts again in 1991. It was named the most-streamed song of the 20th century and its companion video recently passed one billion views on YouTube, making history as the first pre-1990’s video to reach one billion views on the platform. In 2004, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and Freddie Mercury’s vocal performance was named by the readers of Rolling Stone magazine as the best in rock history. “Bohemian Rhapsody” is also one of the many Queen hits featured on the band’s blockbuster compilation, Platinum Collection, Vol. 1-3, which was just certified 5X Platinum. This blockbuster compendium, which hit No. 6 on the Billboard 200, features tracks like “Another One Bites The Dust,” “Killer Queen,” “Under Pressure,” “We Will Rock You,” “We Are The Champions” and so many more. On the heels of this momentous milestone, the band has also kicked off a year-long weekly YouTube series Queen The Greatest – a celebration of Queen’s Golden Jubilee that highlights 50 of the greatest moments from the Queen story so far. Beginning with the March 19 first episode, “Keep Yourself Alive” (WATCH HERE), and with five decades to explore, the series of weekly insights will highlight some of the biggest songs, most memorable performances, and incredible record-breaking achievements that Queen have brought us since it all began in 1971 - bringing fans, over the coming year, one of the greatest stories ever told. Upcoming: Episode 2 - “Live At The Rainbow-London, 1974” (3/26) and Episode 3 -“The ‘turning point’ single, “Killer Queen (4/2). Weekly episodes go live every Friday (HERE). In addition, the band just released their first-ever official Queen game on mobile, Queen: Rock Tour, the band’s first-ever official game for Android and iOS devices. Upon its release, Queen: Rock Tour went Top 5 on The Music Game App chart in over 20 countries. Queen remains one of the most popular groups in the world today, transcending multiple generations of fans, a position further buoyed by the phenomenal global success of their Academy Award-winning 2018 biographical film Bohemian Rhapsody, which tells the incredible story of the band’s historic career and quickly became the highest-grossing music biopic in history.

Your handheld device can hold thousands of songs, you can stream any song you want at the click of a button, no ownership required. Yet an LP is an object you can hold, that you have to physically place on the turntable and play with a needle. The physical act of listening to music is a wonderful thing and makes the albums we chose to play more of a carefully selected thing and much more of an event, hence we appreciate it more. Streamable music and iPods have actually contributed to a jump in vinyl sales. Even album art presents a romantic draw for many collectors. The LP cover is also a thing of beauty when done right. But perhaps it’s the intrinsic value of vintage memorabilia that really draws a person to fanatic collection. “Owning something that is old is a thrill,” Dan Wade, head writer at JustCollecting.com, says. “Owning something that is old and rare is doubly thrilling. The excitement and delight of hunting down rarities is addictive to many record collectors.” There is a serious collector culture around vinyl— so much so that there is even a TED talk about it. Its a great listen and can be watched here 👇🏼 Enjoy ! https://www.ted.com/talks/alexis_charpentier_how_record_collectors_find_lost_music_and_preserve_our_cultural_heritage Extracts from https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/estatesales.org/thegoods/8-rare-vinyl-records-make-rich/amp

Here we go top 10 most expensive vinyl, an extract from MyVinylHours blog. Be prepared for a lot of big bucks Beatles albums http://myvinylhours.com/top-10-most-expensive-records-ever-sold/ 10. Frank Wilson – Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) £25,742 (approx. $33,000) Frank Wilson was a songwriter and producer who worked with Berry Gordy Jr’s label Motown for many years, and worked with some of the biggest names of the time. In the 60’s, he composed a track for Marvin Gaye, but ended up recording it himself in 1965 when the Motown star passed away. Legend has it that only 250 demo copies were ever pressed, but the majority of them were destroyed, except for at least 2. There are several theories about why these records were wiped out; one claims that Gordy didn’t like the track and had them destroyed, another that he wasn’t thrilled about one of his best producers launching a singing career and disposed of them, and the last that Frank Wilson himself opted to be a producer and not performer and had the demos trashed himself. Whatever the truth, a few survived. Gordy is believed to be in possession of one of them, another sold at auction in May 2009 for £25,742 ($33,000). 9. Tommy Johnson – Alcohol and Jake Blues $37,100 In 2013, an Oregon-based record collector purchased his second copy of this very rare 78-rpm blues record by Tommy Johnson for over $37,000. The buyer explained that this copy was in far better condition than his previous copy, and since the master tapes of this recording are no longer in existence, it makes a good quality copy invaluable. Interestingly, this somewhat inordinate price tag came about due to a technical glitch on eBay, where the auction was listed. In the first few days of the listing, the seller was contacted by a buyer who wanted to purchase the record for “Buy It Now” price of $4,000. Unfortunately for the buyer – but fortunately for the seller – the offer was unable to be accepted so the listing time ticked on and ended up with 29 bids from 8 bidders, and an extra $33,000 for the seller. 8. Aphex Twin – Caustic Window (test pressing) $46,300 It’s hard to believe that number 8 on this list is an album from 1994! Don’t get me wrong, it was a killer year for music, but the majority of records that fetch this sort of price are generally from a certain era, and their value is in part due to their age. But in 2014, this idea definitely started shifting. After a Kickstarter campaign to release this album digitally raised $67,424, this rare test pressing of Aphex Twin’s Caustic Window was sold at an eBay auction for an incredible $46,300! Although I don’t imagine this numbered got the buyer all hot and bothered, he turned out to be none other than the inventor of Minecraft, Markus ‘Notch’ Persson. The news was broken via his Twitter account in a tweet which read “So I kinda paid a lot for a double LP from the ’90s.” The seller, and head of the Kickstarter campaign to release the digital music, Joyrex, has said “He’s a really cool guy, and didn’t even consider the charity aspect when buying it (but was really happy to hear that half is going to charity) – he’s been an Aphex fan since he was young. My daughter was blown away that the guy who made the game she endlessly plays bought a record off her dad for $46,000.” As the people who grew up listening to music from the 90’s grow older and richer, I suspect we might see more releases from this decade selling for a high price! 7. The Beatles – Til There Was You (10” acetate) £77,500 (approx. $100,000) This incredibly rare pressing was found forgotten in an attic in the UK, owned by a man named Les Maquire. Apparently, Mr Maquire came into possession of the record during his time as keyboardist for Gerry and The Pacemakers. This 10” acetate is of an early demo recording by the Fab Four featuring the songs ”Til There Was You” and b-side “Hello Little Girl” (misspelled on the disc as ‘Hullo Little Girl’), handwritten by Brian Epstein, the Beatles manager. It is widely said to be the ‘Holy Grail’ for Beatles collectors and is believed to be the first Beatles disc to ever be pressed, and helped to secure them a contract with EMI records. As such, it is touted to be “the record that launched the Beatles.” It sold in Warrington to an unnamed buyer in March 2016. 6. The Beatles – Yesterday & Today $125,000 Get ready for more Beatles, ’cause we ain’t done yet. Next on the list is another of the more rare Beatles items. This compilation record from 1966, was initially released only in North America, and later also in Japan, but never in the UK or Europe. One reason this compilation album is so scarce is due to the artwork of the early pressings. Known as the infamous “butcher” cover, it shows the group clad in white butcher’s coats, and draped in cuts of raw meat and dismembered, cigarette-burned dolls. Although this version was swiftly withdrawn, the very fact that it was produced at all really speaks volumes about the band’s unparalleled status. In 1966, you couldn’t so much as show a toilet seat on an album cover, and it would take ten years before the punk movement began to climb to this provocative height. And yet here we have the Beatles, sitting like mischievous (albeit, somewhat murderous) schoolboys among the carnage. This original cover is still a sought-after item for Beatles collectors, and a mint edition sealed copy became the most expensive one ever sold when it went at auction in February 2013 for $125,000. 5. John Lennon & Yoko Ono – Double Fantasy $150,000 It’s not just the scarcity of a particular pressing that can make it so valuable, it can often be the result of some defining feature that makes it a gem to collectors, whether that’s a strange printing error or other notable marking, or of course, a prized signature. None is quite as historic or unbelievable as this. This particular copy of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s Double Fantasy, sold for an unbelievable $150,000 in 1999, and maybe sold again for $850,000 in 2010*, and is currently on sale once more for a reported $1.5 million. The story of why this album is so valuable is rather shocking. This particular copy of the album was signed by John Lennon just hours before his death on December 8th, 1980. And who was the copy signed for? None other than Mark David Chapman, the man who murdered Lennon later that night. After getting the album signed, he stashed the record in a pot plant outside of the Dakota, home to Lennon and Ono, and waited for them to return home from a recording session. Upon their arrival, Chapman shot Lennon multiple times in the back and killed him. A passerby found the record and handed it in to police as forensic evidence. A year later, the police returned the album to this good Samaritan. Amazingly, the cover and dust jacket still contains Chapman’s forensically enhanced fingerprints. As an avid Beatles fan all of their life, this person hid the album under their bed for 18 years before they sold the album to a private collector in 1999. I wonder if it will hit the number one spot when it sells again in the future. *The reason this is at number 5 on the list, and not at number 2, where the 2010 price tag should put it, is because I can’t really find a reliable source for this sale. 4. The Beatles – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (signed by all four Beatles) $290,000 Original 1967 pressings of Sgt. Pepper will always go for a high price at auction, especially the mono version with the black Parlophone label. One Beatles signature alone can inflate the value of the record radically. A copy signed by all members of the Fab Four? As the old Australian saying goes: Tell him he’s dreamin’. This particular copy was estimated to sell for $30,000 at auction in Dallas in 2013, but stunned everyone when it ended up selling for nearly 10 times the original estimated amount, fetching an astonishing $290,000 and breaking all the records for this 1967 album. 3. Elvis Presley – My Happiness $300,000 On January 8th, 2015, what would have been Presley’s 80th birthday, a massive auction was held at his Graceland estate. Here, the first ever recording by Elvis Presley, and the only one of its kind in existence, an acetate disc containing “My Happiness” and “That’s When Your Heartaches Begin”, sold for $300,000 to an “undisclosed buyer”. This buyer was later revealed to be the the legendary Jack White, you might remember him from The Dead Weather, or The Raconteurs, or…The White Stripes maybe? Now if you know anything about Jack White, you probably know that he is an avid collector of vintage gear and vintage vinyl. He loves to do things old school, and his studio and label Third Man Records specializes in both vintage recording techniques and unusual vinyl releases. So it’s pretty fitting that he is the proud owner of one of the world’s most expensive records. What you might not realize, is that he bought this album to make a limited edition facsimile which was released through Third Man Records for Record Store Day in 2015, complete with all the crackles and pops of that acetate disc. It was even released with a plain brown paper bag for a sleeve – because, he said, “that’s what Elvis would have walked out of Sun Records with.” Can this guy get any cooler? I’m looking forward to finding out. 2. The Beatles – The Beatles (White Album) $790,000 For years it’s been known that Ringo Starr (you know…that drummer from The Beatles) owned the very first copy of the band’s self-titled double album from 1968. This first run of these records were printed with serial numbers in sequence, and Starr’s copy sports the number ‘0000001’. He sold his copy in 2015 at Julien’s auctions (known as The Auction House To The Stars…cue eye roll) in the U.S. for a whopping $790,000, to a buyer who has remained unnamed. Starr previously told Rolling Stone “We used to play the vinyl in those days. We didn’t think, ‘We’ll keep it for 50 years and it will be in pristine condition.’ Whoever gets it, it will have my fingerprints on it.” I can only imagine this dramatically increases the price of the item. Along with this record, Starr also sold his famous Ludwig drum kit, bought by Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay for a cool $2.2 million. 1. Wu-Tang Clan – Once Upon a Time in Shaolin $2 million At number the number one spot, by far the most expensive record ever sold, is the 2015 album by the Wu-Tang Clan, Once Upon a Time in Shaolin. This is the one and only copy ever produced, and this one of a kind album comes with a strict contract stipulating that whoever buys the album may not attempt to sell or make money from the record for 100 years. However, the new owner may release the album for free if they so choose. The contract also included an amazing clause added by Wu-Tang, which is probably the best thing anyone has ever had written into a legally binding document: “The buying party also agrees that at any time during the stipulated 88 year period, the seller may legally plan and attempt to execute one (1) heist or caper to steal back Once Upon A Time In Shaolin, which, if successful, would return all ownership rights to the seller. Said heist or caper can only be undertaken by currently active members of the Wu-Tang Clan and/or actor Bill Murray, with no legal repercussions” Ok, but whoever bought this album would surely release it for free and be beloved by the world. So why haven’t we heard all the damn songs from this thing already? What kind of a person would buy something like this and just sit on it? Well, actually we know exactly what kind of person would do that. His name is Martin Shkreli (read: massive ass-hat). He’s the CEO of the controversial (to say the least) Turing Pharmaceuticals. This is the company that bought out an anti-HIV drug and hiked the prices up by more than 5000%. He paid the asking price of $2 million for this record, which didn’t go down too well with some fans, or members of the band. While all of this really speaks to the deplorable character of this pathetic excuse for a human being, luckily he is getting his comeuppance. Shkreli has been tied up in legal battles for a long time, and In March 2018, Shkreli was ordered by U.S. courts to forfeit $7.38 million worth of assets, and luckily this includes the record. Who knows what will happen to it from here, but at least that piece of human trash doesn’t own it anymore, and that’s enough for me for now.
