Description
Inside the magazine issue: Before Melanie Safka’s untimely passing at the beginning of this year, she set in motion a reissue campaign of her back catalog from 1971 onward. Along with Goldmine's 7-inch in the aforementioned bundle, Cleopatra Records (U.S.) and (Easy Action (U.K.) will release music from this back catalog, and material that has never seen the light of day. Author Dave Thompson details the scheduled releases of all this music to the world, including a ‘70s bootleg concert that was never pressed on vinyl (nor officially released).
"Talking with Melanie one time,” Thompson says, "she mentioned that she’d never had a ‘proper’ bootleg.” Prepare yourself for the ultimate celebration of Melanie’s musical journey!
