Melanie's best album just got a lot better. Photograph was
already regarded by fans as her most musically successful
album, and in 2005 it was given the Rhino Handmade treatment
-- and in the course of gathering together the masters, the
makers found an entire album's worth of previously unheard
tracks, more than doubling Photograph's length (and
necessitating the slight title change for this double-CD
edition). The original recording sessions evidently yielded
an embarrassment of riches, and the result here is an
astonishing doubling of the attendant pleasures as well. The
singer/songwriter is captured in moments and modes that are
new for some of these songs, such as a less lyrical and more
self-consciously rocking rendition of "Groundhog Day," in
addition to newly heard conceptual pieces such as "Secret of
the Darkness" (which recalls "Ring the Living Bell" in style
and sound). Among the highlights is one playful piece of
confessional folk-rock, "Whamp Bomp Song," and there is even
a significantly improved rendition of her Buddah Records-era
classic "Ruby Tuesday." The resulting second disc is much
more than a supplement or a bonus feature; it's a significant
new body of work from this period in Melanie's career, and
all of it is finished, fully realized music, rather than
works in progress. The sound is excellent throughout and the
annotation is a model for a reissue of this kind, with lots
of good information on the artist and the songs.




Note:  We consider ourselves at MP3 to be ahead of
the game when it comes to audio quality.  We prefer
to rip to LAME 3.97b because it yields better sound
quality at a more efficient bitrate.  However, the
scene is not yet prepared for 3.97b, as pzs-ng/glftpd
have not yet been updated to detect the presets in
this new encoder.  In addition to this, some groups
have been taking advantage of using new LAME versions
or presets and have been sound shaping and altering
bitrates to make re-encoded webrips appear as legit
releases.  As such, we have decided to revert to an
outdated version of LAME until the scene is prepared
for an update.
