email: jmiskura@aol.com I have the 'Candles in the Rain' Buddah 1970 album, which does not have 'Alexander Beetle'. I also have the 'Candles in the Rain' CD (Buddah Collector's Classics 1996), which has 'two bonus tracks': 'Almost Like Being in Love' and 'Dream Seller'. But it also has 'Alexander Beetle'. I got the CD through the BMG Music Club - the CD was manufactured for them.
Where can I find cronologies of Melanie's albums/CDs? I'm trying to put a master list together for myself from different (incomplete?) lists? I've been a fan for 28 years, and through the internet found I has missed a lot - I'm looking forward to adding to my collection of 24 albums and 7 CDs. I ordered from the 'Melanie Fan Club', but never got 'Photograph' (can that be the same as the 1976 Atlantic 'Photograph'?) and got a messed up copy of 'Old Bitch Warrior'.

email: tv118@aol.com I will be going to see Melanie Wed. August 26 at
Piermont, NY at 7:30. I haven't seen her in over
10 years. I'm soooooo excited, such a small
intimate venue. I will BE GOING ALL BY MYSELF
THOUGH, no one I know likes her or ever heard of
her. I'm going anyway but I dread the 2 hour drive
home on a work night. So, if anyone in the Albany
capital district area is planning on going and is
in the same predicament, email me, perhaps we
can drive together listening to Melanie CDs on
the way home. I can't wait.

Doesn't anyone know how rare this is? I have lost Lp Am I Real or What? and am looking to replace it someday. I was fortunate enough to meet Melanie when she was in Buffalo recording/promoting Real or What? She was so sweet and kind. We chatted for about 30 minutes. I am an artist and we went into great lengths about album covers. I would love to hear from other Melanie lovers. Arthur

In about 1975 I found the Carnegie Hall album in a discount bin and that's the last time I've seen anything new of hers. I'm so happy to have come across this site. I'd like more information on how I can get some of her newer recordings here in CANADA. Cheers.

email: Weil512@aol.com I am still searching for the elusive CD - Melanie (1987).
Also, the CD-single that was released off "Silence Is King."
Who purchased the Japan 2 piece vinyl album last month? Could you tell me what was on it? The name of the album and catalog number as well, please. I figure someone here purchased it as it sold immediately upon posting.
Melanie Japan material is so uncommon....
Happy holidays to all... From one who sat and chatted with Melanie earlier this year and am still reeling from the moment!

But, please! I'm having a problem. I want to send these cassettes

& I live so far from the post office, it's hard for me to get
there. If you could make a request--for anything, past recordings,
rare, unreleased material, PLEASE send me an envelope with the
postage included. As well as a blank cassette. It's
taking me too long to send people what they request, and
I'm sorry, but I need a blank cassette--you decide, 60 mins. or

email: Jmcg114@aol,com Hi there everyone
this is the first time on the net like this so I am a bit nervous I have been in contact with several people during this year on the net after having found Melanie .
It appears that the 1987 CD is very rare so if you want a copy send me details and I will do one for you.Mine is not for sale and to make it even better Melanie has autographed for me.
Has anyone seen Melanie Unplugged CD.through Disky Communications Europe 1997.I was recently in Paris, France and picked up a copy.It basically is Silver Anniversary CD ,16 tracks with an unbugged version of Freedom knows my Name which I think it better than the Original recording.
Also I picked up Candles in the Rain,Collectors Classics with Almost like being in Love and Drem Seller included,which is similar to one other which has Brand New Key and Alexander Beetle included.
I work part time in a music shop in Glasgow and I sell lots of Melanie. So if you you like to talk write to me here or phone me and I can tell you what is available for sale at the shop.The number is 0141 334 3203 for those person residing UK If alling from overseas use international number
I hope some of you who play guitar have read the songs I transcribed recently for Johan.there is one big mistake on Freedom knows my nae and until I can sort out what I have to for Johan on the machine it will need to stay wrong.I f anyone wants a copy of these songs I have retained them and I can send you a copy which is corrected

(with two extra tracks) or, possibly, my spare copy of 'My Beautiful People' - Melanie's first single (1967) on the Columbia label. My present address is: P.O.

email: shanciel@top.monad.net It's me again! (Just being punny) I have the following Melanie recordings: My First Album, Affectionately, Leftover Wine, Gather Me, Live at Carnegie Hall, The Four Sides of Melanie, Madrugada, Sunset and Other Beginnings, Stoneground Words, Please Love Me, Garden In The City, Photograph, Photogenic, Ballroom Streets and the RPM soundtrack. All are on vinyl and very old. I would be happy to make cassettes for anyone. I am most interested in obtaining Melanie's 90's recordings and any live performances. I've only seen her in concert once - in 1977 - after Photograph was released. Please email if you are interested.

email: speller@erols I was absolutely shocked to find Melanie's music on CD's in the music store recently. What an inspiration her words were for me during my years in the hippie era. I have all of her albums and can still, after 26 years, remember most of the words. What a surprise also to find this Web site and to hear that Melanie is still out there.

email: shanciel@top.monad.net Hi everyone. I can't belive I found you! I have been listening (and singing) to Melanie since I was 14. It is difficult for me to express my feelings about how her music has touched my life. She KNOWS me. She is my soul and conscious through the universality of her lyrics. I am afforded a rare glimpse into the personal journey of this woman and artist. My relationship with Melanie (as you can tell) is highly spiritual and personal. I very much want to correspond with other Melanie fans. I have many of her earlier albums but nothing beyond BALLROOM STREETS. I'd really like to collect some later albums and I look forward to her new release here in the US. I have only seen Melanie in concert one time and would like any concert information for New England. Peace to all you Beautiful People!

email: jmar@acci.gr I am so excited to see you all here!Hello beautiful
people!The last 5 years I've managed to find 7
of her first LP's(used and quite expensive!)and
2 collections but from 1974 and then I had lost
her tracks.I can't believe she's still active!
Her latest LP's that I own are "Madrugada" and
"Stoneground words"and the truth is that I never
play them as I find them quite different than her
earlier recordings which I find unique.I would
appreciate an opinion on that from an expert
(anyone there?)What about her latest work?Is
there a change in her style?I'm very interested
and I'll try to contact some of you.BEWARE!

96-03-19 01:27 Dear Friends & Fans, I am not a scientologist. I was born and raised a Catholic. Any information connecting me to the Church of Scientology is unfounded and untrue. Sincerely, Melanie

96-03-17 06:40 I'm so happy to find out that i'm not the only Melanie fan!! I was getting tired of the patented "head tilted to the right, 'Who?'" response. Please keep me posted on any new developments. I bought a music/cook book second hand that had a semi-suicide note written in it from its previous owner. Sad and ironic...Melanie's music brought me back from the edge several times! Thankyou!!!

We only have two of her albums and we hoped we would be able to find more on the net, Well, I was named after her, and would you know it?! I sing!!! Anyway, I am only 14 years old but am a devoted 14 year old who will do everything in my power to discover more about my idol and to meet her (Besides giving more information to you guys!) I would love to hear the music of The Hooded Crow. You guys sound so cool just reading your words. The best of luck to your group!...and the Melanie Safka file! "Ring the living bell!"

95-11-25 09:09 Thanks for the Melanie homepage! A fan from Sydney Australia. I saw her in concert in Melbourne three times in the 1970's. What a great voice. I don't think it's full power has ever been captured on record. I wish someone would release "Photograph" and "Phonogenic" on CD. And "Sunset and Other Beginnings" and "As I see it Now". I had these on vinyl, but eventually sold my record collection. I have replaced as many as I can on CD
But those four would make me very happy. There are so many
reissues of the early and middle recordings and not so many of the middle-late stuff. Thanks again for the homepage! I might have to follow Sandro's voyage too.
