NOTES ON THE AVAILABILITY OF MELANIE’S RECORDINGS

 

It recent years it has not always been easy to obtain Melanie’s music. Vinyl albums were long out of print and CD re-issues often poorly done, or not done at all.  Even new albums could be hard to find as they were often only released in certain countries. A vast array of compilations, often providing the same limited range of songs, just added to the frustration of older fans trying to replace their worn vinyl collections and newer fans wanting to hear Melanie’s music for the first time.

 

The advent of the age of the digital download has now made a significant difference, with more and more of Melanie’s back catalogue and new recording now being made available either through her official web-site or download stores such as iTunes or Napster. However, even the world of digit downloads is rather confusing with several different companies providing content to download sites, sometimes resulting in more than one version of an album.

 

If you want downloads of Melanie’s albums then my recommendation would be to start with the Store at Melanie’s official website. (www.melaniesmusic.com/store.html).  If you can’t find what your looking for there, or would prefer to use one of the other download sites, then look for content supplied by Two Story Records or Melanie Music.  I have tried to indicate in the Album Index if a particular recording is available for digital download and will try to keep this as up-to-date as possible.

 

Of course downloads are not everyone’s first choice. Some albums can still be found on CD through major on-line retailers and out-of-print CDs can sometimes be found through auction sites such as EBAY or Amazon Marketplace sellers. Albums that have never had an official CD release can only be found in their original vinyl format through second hand record stores or from auction sites.
