Love Has Many Faces (subtitled A Quartet, a Ballet, Waiting to Be Danced) is a box set by Canadian musician Joni Mitchell. It was released on November 24, 2014 through Rhino Entertainment. The box set compiles songs spanning Mitchell's fourth album, Blue to her most recent album, Shine (2007).

Background

Compiled over a period of 18 months, Love Has Many Faces collects romantically-themed songs from Mitchell's back catalogue, organized into four "acts".^[2] Included in its packaging is new paintings and poetry by Mitchell.^[3]

Late in the set's production, Mitchell chose to rearrange the track order of disc three, leading to a disrepancy between the order listed on the set's packaging and the actual order of songs on the album.^[4]
