Das hier ist ein "Geatest Hits", also mit 19 Titeln, und kostet etwa die Hälfte der entsprechenden CD. Ich höre kaum noch CDs. Der Qualitätsverlust der MP3s gegenüber den WAVs der CD ist für mich nicht hörbar, und ein MP3-Player hat einige große Vorteile:
+ Die ganze Sammlung passt auf eine kleine Festplatte, oder sogar einen USB-Stick, da MP3s ca. ein Zehntel des Speicherplatzes von WAVs brauchen.
+ Datensicherung ist kein Problem.
+ Man kann Playinglists erstellen, wenn man nur ausgewählte Titel von ausgewählten Alben hören möchte.
Abgesehen davon gibt's mit Amazon Music einen kostenlosen Cloud-Player, auch für Android:
+ Wenige Minuten nach der Bestellung kann man sich das bereits anhören.
+ Die Titel kann man runterladen.
+ Der Cloud-Player erlaubt Playinglists, und ist auch sonst sehr komfortabel, z.B. werden die Cover der DCs angezeigt.
+ Möchte man wirklich die Original-CD kaufen, z.B. wegen des Booklets, wird die - wenn bei Amazon gekauft - im MP3-Format in die eigene Sammlung aufgenommen. Das hat sogar bei einer eher seltenen CD (Yellow Shark von Frank Zappa) funktioniert.
Ein weiterer Vorteil des Systems: Man kann auch einzelne Titel aus einem Album bestellen, und vorher hineinhören. Gerade bei "Greatest Hits" oder "Best Of" ist es oft so, dass der eine oder andere Lieblingstitel nicht drauf ist. Den kann man dann als Einzeldownload aus einem anderen Album dazubestellen.
Alles in allem eine neue Art des Musikhörens, und daher von mir soviele Sterne wie nur zum Anklicken da waren :-)
Hier die Titel auf der CD:
1. Summer Of Love II
2. Lady Down (Candles In The Rain) Melanie with The Edwin Hawkins Singers (original full length version)
3. Ring The Living Bell
4. What Have They Done To My Song Ma
5. Brand New Key
6. Love to Lose Again
7. Lover's Cross
8. Ruby Tuesday
9. The Nickel Song
10. Bobo's Party

14. Psychotherapy (live)
15. Beautiful People
16. Together Alone
17. Leftover Wine
18. Peace Will Come (According To Plan)
19. I Will Get Over
Für Fans empfehle ich Zusätzlich zu den Best-Of-Tracks auf diesem Album noch die Titel:
• Birthday of the Sun
• Save Me
• Someday i'll be a farmer
Er setzt sich nicht an die Maschine, die man Computer nennt.Dies tut der Sache aber keinen Abbruch. Ist eine tolle Musik, und das ist wichtig.

There was much more to Melanie than any label could contain. Sure, she often sang in a childlike voice and sang songs like Christopher Robin and Alexander Beetle, but her voice had a wide and flexible range. On Candles in the Rain she sings with the power of an elemental force. On songs like Leftover Wine and Tuning My Guitar (regrettably not included here), she could express serious anger. In a more playful mood she could talk-sing her way through a song like Ruby Tuesday and practically turn it into theater. Melanie had quite a range, which this disc shows. There was a real intensity to Melanie that "flower child" does not do justice to.
The Melanie we know from recordings and performances was practically born at Woodstock. A 21 year old from a suburban part of Queens, she had been singing at coffeehouses in New Jersey and Greenwich Village when she met manager and future husband Peter Schekeryk who got her a record deal with Columbia. When they dropped her he got her signed to Buddha Records. Though her first album received little attention, she nevertheless got a spot on the first night ("Folk Night") at Woodstock right after Tim Hardin and Ravi Shankar and just before Arlo Guthrie and Joan Baez. She sang only two songs; the later sets were cut short when early sets took too long. Guthrie had only three songs, Hardin two and Baez, a superstar, only five. It didn't matter. She was an instant sensation and when candles were passed out and lit on that rainy night it inspired one of her best songs. The rain was an important part of Woodstock. The crowd, facing adverse weather were bound together strongly in a way they might not have been on a warm, clear summer night. It was a powerful spiritual experience for Melanie and she came away from it transformed.
After that she had a big career as a recording artist, frequently on tour and on the radio. She became a regular at outdoor rock concerts and festivals. But her relationship with Buddah Records was not a good one. Buddah (they spelled it that way) was spun out of Kama Sutra records and was being run by former MGM Records executive Neil Bogart. He later became the disco king with his Casablanca Records in the mid 70's. Though Bogart promoted Melanie with great energy, it was still a bad fit for her. Buddah was just coming off the high of Bubblegum Music in 1968 with acts like the Ohio Express and the 1910 Fruitgum Company. They saw Melanie as just another pop confection to get on the radio. To their credit at least they seemed to let her sing her own songs in her own way and didn't force heavy pop production on her. But she couldn't title her own albums, or have any say in their covers or any control over how they promoted her. When the contract was up she left and with Schekeryk formed indie label Neighborhood Records and promptly had the biggest hit in her career, Brand New Key, a Number One hit in late 1971.
This collection is about as good a sampler of Melanie's songs as you could want on a single disc. There are a few songs I think should have been included but weren't but overall it's a good collection. The hits are all front-loaded and you get the full, electrifying 7:39 minute version of Candles In the Rain with the Edwin Hawkins Singers, a happening in itself. Her version of Look What They've Done To My Song (the other title is a label grammatical correction) is more cynical than the New Seekers (who almost sounded glad about it) and it has that European cafe feeling to it. Brand New Key had such a happy old-time sound to it and was sung so coyly that you might think it was a kid's song until you listened to the lyrics. Psychotherapy from her live album, Leftover Wine is a crowd sing-a-long and Ring the Living Bell gets into a roots music, old folk vein. All her Buddah albums are represented. Gather Me deserved more than Brand New Key (like maybe Wondrous Love) but it was on Neighborhood and this is a Buuhhha collection. A few later singles like Together Alone show how her songwriting continued to evolve and leaves you wishing her hit years had lasted longer. The sound is excellent and the booklet is much better than the usual and contains some contributions from Melanie herself.
