To me, the best way to deal with the final results would be about sixty minutes of Buddah material (1968-1971), 60 minutes of Neighbourhood Records material (1971-1975) and 100-120 minutes of the 1976-1996 period. Thoughts?
For now, all we ask of you is to email me, so I can mail you a list of all the songs Melanie ever recorded (including reworkings of older songs) or download this file and select at least 50 songs from the back catalogue you never grow tired of hearing. Not just select the songs on the fact that they are your favourites, but also try to establish which songs you never grow weary of. Also, include a short motivation for every song you choose and a short piece about yourself and Melanie. After that, please email your entry to me. The first three entries could function as an example.
This should be the ultimate Melanie collection, for both new and older fans!
