In 2024, Rhino released this exact box (same packaging, graphics, etc) set in a multichannel version on their Quadio imprint - on Blu Ray discs instead of CDs - that has all four albums in newly-doneDolby Atmos mixes, as well as the original '70s quad mixes, and the recent new stereo remasters from the 2022 edition.
On September 10, 2020,Rhino Records announced the creation of theJoni Mitchell Archives, a planned years-long effort by Mitchell and her late managerElliot Roberts to finally release and remaster previously unreleased recordings in Mitchell's archives.[6][7] It was Rhino's intention to follow a certain release schedule, specifically stating that all "future releases in the archive series will arrive in a similar manner, with a box set focused on studio albums from a specific era, followed by an official 'Archives' release looking at unreleased audio from the same period."[8] The 2021 release schedule for the Archives series followed said format, first with the release ofThe Reprise Albums (1968–1971) in June followed by the release ofJoni Mitchell Archives – Vol. 2: The Reprise Years (1968–1971) in November.[8] The record label committed to this release schedule again while announcingThe Asylum Albums (1972–1975), albeit acknowledging the third volume of unreleased material would arrive the following year.[1]
LikeThe Reprise Albums (1968–1971),The Asylum Albums (1972–1975) features original artwork by Mitchell, a picturesque scene painted in the Canadian wilderness that inspiredFor the Roses. The box set also features an essay written by Mitchell's friend, peer, and archival mentorNeil Young.[1][9] All of the material on this release was remastered by series regular collaboratorBernie Grundman.[1]
