Description Digitally remastered edition of this 1972 album by the folk singer/songwriter. Although marketed as an album of new recordings, it was actually a compilation of "leftover" songs from Melanie's time at that label and released without her consent, after she left to form her own record label. Two of the songs had been previously released on the soundtrack album to the movie R. P. M. (produced by Barry de Vorzon & Perry Botkin, Jr.) in 1970. The song "People in the Front Row" was later sampled by Australian hip hop group Hilltop Hoods for their song "The Nosebleed Section".Tracklist 1. Garden In The City 2. Love In My Mind 3. We Don't Know Where We Are Going 4. Lay Lady Lay 5. Jigsaw Puzzle 6. Don't You Wait By the Water 7. Stop! I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore 8. Somebody Loves Me 9.

This collection of her best known tracks includes the hits 'Lay Down (Candles In The Rain)', 'Look What They've Done To My Song, Ma' and 'Brand New Key'.Tracklist 1. Animal Crackers 2.

To me, a Melanie Best Of is Gather Me & Candles In The Rain. I know Gather is available in the UK. Not sure about Candles at this moment.
