ROW CD Released in the UK in 1992 on
SEQUAL Records, NEX CD 205 This is one
of the few early compilations to try and provide something different in the
way of a track listing, while at the same time providing good quality sound.
Tracks of note: In The Hour, not the version from Born To Be,
but instead the version that Melanie recorded for the film All The Right
Noises. Tracks 14 to 18 are taken from the album Garden In The City,
which has never made it to CD. CD cover
includes 3 sides of notes written by Mark Paytress of the UK Record
Collector magazine who compiled the collection. |

BO BO's PARTY / LEFTOVER WINE CD Released in the USA in 1990 on
RHINO Records, R2 70991 One of the
better compilations, this CD mixes material from the Buddah and Neighborhood
years and also contains Bitter Bad, a song that was only ever issued
as a single. Sadly Lay Down (Candles In the Rain) is the edited
version and not the full eight-minute version that the CD booklet would lead
you to believe. The sleeve notes provide a good overview of Melanie's
recording career. |
