Which Janis Joplin record is Isabelle playing non-stop?

There is a time in the film when Isabelle restarts a finished record, a Janis Joplin record. Annoyed, Theo attempts to break the record in two and immediately Isabelle challenges Matthew to name a film in which someone drives another person crazy by tap dancing.
Which record was Isabelle playing again and again? I've been searching for that record for a long time. It's definitely not "Live in Winterland 1968" (songs of which are in the OST as well). It was definitely NOT a live album.
Can you please help me? Which Joplin record was it?

And yes, I'll reply to myself. It's Cheap Thrills by Big Brother and the Holding Co.
Bingo!

Thanks, I was also looking for this and the live performance of "I Need a Man to Love" didn't sound the same!

I found the record. it's "Cheap Thrills" by the Big Brother and the Holding Company.

Yep, it's a really good record. I feel like Isa playing it on loop all day :p .

At about 1:03, "Combination Of The Two" plays for a bit.
It's the opening track on "Cheap Thrills".

BTW, the album was meant to be called, "Sex, Drugs & Cheap Thrills"; but that wasn't possible in 1968.
