Product Details

Melanie Safka remains one of Woodstock's most indelible figures, her barefoot performance on that rain-soaked August stage in 1969 inspiring "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" and cementing her place in the counterculture canon. Her blend of folk intimacy and raw emotional power influenced generations of singer-songwriters, yet her catalog has long been harder to track down than it deserves to be. This collection finally gives her story the proper treatment.

Melanie's Greatest Hits, newly re-mastered by Robert Fripp from recently discovered master tapes! The definitive and official Melanie anthology, now available on the 30th anniversary of her "coming out party" - a.k.a. The Woodstock Festival. Highlights include the full length version of "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)" on CD for the 1st time, plus the 1st U.S. release of Summer of Love II" and "I Will Get Over." Deluxe booklet and rare photos.
