Melanie - People In The Front Row (ORANGE VINYL) [Vinyl] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

The first release from the Re mastered catalogue campaign on Melanie's own revitalised Neighbourhood Records label (via UK s Easy Action) features the song recently used on the cult TV show Black Mirror backed with an unreleased version of the 60s hit Bo Bos Party. 7 is limited to 350 coloured vinyl copies and comes in a spined picture sleeve. Melanie landed in the New York City music and radio scene in the late 1960s. Her first single Beautiful People immediately became a turntable hit. In the years to come she would entertain millions: at An Aquarian Exposition (the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival), at Carnegie Hall, and the Isle of Wight and Glastonbury music festivals, The Sydney Opera House, the South Korean DMZ, the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, the Royal Albert Hall, and other venues around the globe. Melanie launched Neighborhood Records, making her the first American woman to open a mainstream record label. She recorded over 20 chart hits. Melanie received an Emmy after composing lyrics for the theme song of the hit television series Beauty and the Beast. What Have They Done to My Song Ma was re-recorded by Ray Charles with the Count Basie Band. Nina Simone delivered a remarkable rendition, as well. (Lay Down) Candles in the Rain was re-recorded by Mott the Hoople on their 1971 album Wildlife. Meredith Brooks and Queen Latifah later re-recorded the anthem. Some Say (I Got Devil)" was re-recorded by Smiths frontman Morrissey. Melanie has always known her calling in life was to entertain. Audiences have welcomed her to the stage for more than fifty years, and she continues to perform today.
