Previous CD Releases

 

 

LEFTOVER WINE

US CD released on ONE WAY RECORDS, OW 27649

 

Though fairly good sound quality, this CD has very slight breaks between each song that tends to spoil the feeling of a continuous live performance.

 

 

THE BEST OF MELANIE

European Compilation issued in 1993 by CASTLE COMMUNICATIONS, MAT CD 276

 

Tracks 9 through to 18 are all taken from Leftover Wine, so you get virtually the whole of that album, except for Happy Birthday
and Peace Will Come
The sound quality is good throughout.

 

FANTASTIC COLLECTION

German CD released by Buddah Records, 1993 Castle Communication Deutschland GmbH, CHC 7070

 

Leftover Wine is edited in order to meet the time restrictions of CD and does not include Close To It All and Tuning My Guitar. The remaining tracks do suffer from occasional distortion.
