MELANIE – Autumn Lady (Deluxe Edition) – 2CD [NOV 8]

Description

2CD – Packaged in deluxe card gatefold sleeve with colour booklet and liner notes by Melanies manager and UK music journalist Dave Thompson (27 tracks).

‘Autumn Lady was the name of a project started in 1973 but was waylaid and forgotten about and was later replaced by the 1974 album As I See it Now. This album represents the songs that were intended to become that album – some became singles (Bitter Bad and the Goffin & King classic Will you love me Tomorrow?)but most remained unheard.

CD version gives the customer a wider range of material considered for this album in 1973 across 2 discs, crammed with rare tracks. Including the controversial 27-minute version of Hearing The News.
