MELANIE - Ballroom Streets (Reissue) - 2LP - Mustard Yellow Vinyl

2LP - Limited Edition Mustard Yellow Vinyl. housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve package with printed inner bags containing all the lyrics. Out of print for 30 years. Only 1,000 copies pressed in this edition. 

This unique album includes brand new songs along with some classics such as: ‘Nickel Song’, ‘Ruby Tuesday‘, ‘Brand New Key‘. The latter was performed in the style that Melanie had originally envisioned it to be. The pinnacle of this album is arguably the stunning version of the single “Cyclone” which segues into the classic “Candles in the Rain“. Of this album Melanie defiantly said, “I wasn’t making this album for the music industry, I was making it for me - this is who I am, this is what I do, and if you don’t like, too bad.” And the album sounds all the better for it, being as organic as you can get - a singer songwriter and an elite band of musicians doing what they do best…this album is one of the overlooked classics in the Melanie catalogue.
