DISKY – SI 906352

Barcode: 8 711539 063528

Based on the album “MOMENTS FROM MY LIFE”

While the inclusion of Time After Time is a welcome addition to this CD, the same cannot be said of the three live tracks included as bonus material, recorded at the Meltdown Festival 2007, These tracks do not sit well on this album of studio cover versions. The editing also doesn’t help. The fade in at the start of each song happens quite suddenly and Lay Down and Ruby Tuesday are both faded out before completion. It seems a shame to have dropped When I Need You, I’ll Never Find Another You and I Will Survive in favour of these live recordings

Tracks 1 to 12 and track 18 are the original Buddah recordings. Animal Crackers is also a Buddah recorded but has been enhanced with added instrumentation. Close To It All and Long, Long Time are originally from Silver Anniversary. Babe Rainbow and Tuning My Guitar are re-recordings originally released on the CD Beautiful People (Brilliant BT 33023). Alexander Beetle is a live version that originally appeared on the album Melanie In Concert Live at Montreux and, as far as I know, is the only occurrence of a track from this album ever appearing on CD.

German 2CD set released September 2003

BELLA MUSICA – BM 14.4066

Barcode: 4 014513 021793

CD 1 is basically Shine On – The Latest and Greatest though the version of Long Train Running is a different mix to the one included on the original issue. Two Buddah recordings, I’m Back In Town and I Don’t Eat Animals have been added to close CD 1, but do not sit well coming after Melanie’s wonderful recording of California Dreaming.

The second CD is mainly recordings from the Buddah era, though a number have been remixed to included additional instrumentation. I have to say that I prefer the originals and think the remixing detracts rather than adds anything.

The last four tracks are all taken from the 1993 release Silence Is King.

German manufactured budget priced 3CD set released in 2002

DIGIMODE ENTERTAINMENT LTD UK – BOX 30063

Barcode: 8 712273 300634

What do you get here? First of all you get the entire Sunset and Other Beginnings album (US version - no Ol' Man River),. Secondly you get some rare tracks, an unreleased recording of Those Were The Days, a remix of Long Train Runnin’, Knock On Wood on CD for the first time and a rare version of Prematurely Grey. A smattering of tracks from recent re-recordings which have all been available before and finally some rather badly re-mixed older recordings.

This is a budget priced boxed set and it feels like it. The sound quality for the majority of tracks is good, but the set is let down by some poor versions of older material and the re-mixes of the older Buddah material add nothing. No thought has been given to programming the songs either by musical style or genre, the tracks do not flow (Knock On Wood followed by Please Love Me is a prime example) and the whole thing has a feeling of being thrown together. Hopefully, one day, a record company will put together a quality boxed set that documents Melanie’s career of more

Barcode 4 010946 707020

Two albums on one CD? Well not quite as Leftover Wine has been edited in order to meet the time restrictions of CD. Born To Be (My First Album) is included in its entirety. Leftover Wine drops Close To It All and Tuning My Guitar. The sound quality of My First Album is very good (actually better than the C5 CD release) but the live tracks do suffer from occasional distortion. It is also interesting to compare the studio version of Momma, Momma on this CD with the one on the C5 release, as this one is a full version while the other seems to have been edited.

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. The CD booklet includes 3 sides of notes written by Mark Paytress of the UK Record Collector magazine who compiled the collection.

The sleeve notes provide a good overview of Melanie's recording career.

Swiss Compilation issued in 1988

CD DRIVE 3034 ADD

Barcode: 7 619917 303437

This must be one of the worst compilations I have come across. The sound quality is poor and tracks fade in at the start with the sound balance changing from track to track. Best avoided
