Melanie – Autumn Lady (2-CD)
Product Details
Melanie Safka remains one of the most underappreciated singer-songwriters of her era, a genuine original whose raw emotional honesty set her apart from the Laurel Canyon pack. Best known for "Brand New Key" and her legendary Woodstock appearance, she spent the early 1970s in a remarkably fertile creative period that history largely overlooked. This 30-track collection finally surfaces what that lost 1973 chapter actually sounded like, in far greater depth than the vinyl edition allows.
'Autumn Lady' was the name of a project started in 1973 but was waylaid and forgotten about and was later replaced by the 1974 album 'As I See it Now'. This album represents the songs that were intended to become that album - some became singles ('Bitter Bad' and the Goffin & King classic 'Will you love me Tomorrow?')... but most remained unheard. Limited pressing LP of 700, pressed on deep red vinyl. CD version gives the customer a wider range of material considered for this album in 1973 across 2 discs, crammed with rare tracks. Including the controversial 27-minute version of 'Hearing The News'. Packaged in deluxe card gatefold sleeve with colour booklet and liner notes by Melanie's manager and UK music journalist Dave Thompson.
