Year: 1967
On their only album and against the author's will under a different title. Still, Joni must have catched Dave's drift naming the album holding her own version Clouds. Joni's oldest own version (as Both Sides Now), in '66 for a radiostation in Philly, came out on boxset Joni Mitchell Archives Vol 1 in 2020.
