LAY DOWN (5:16) Recorded live at Montreux on June 12th, 1971 German LP issued 1973 by BUDDAH RECORDS 2318 089 All sections written by Melanie Safka except Chords Of Fame written by Phil Ochs Carolina In My Mind written by James Taylor Yugoslavian copies have recently emerged on Ebay. COMMENTS This LP is perhaps the most rare of all Melanie albums, with some fans not even aware of its existence. Buddah Records released the record in 1973. Initially it was thought to only have been released in Germany however, copies printed in Yugoslavia have recently emerged on Ebay. Like Leftover Wine it features a solo concert, this time recorded in Montreux on June 12th, 1971. Whether the album was issued in limited numbers or whether it was withdrawn after release I cannot say. I came across my copy about 5 years ago, it being the first one I had seen in many years of searching. The album, while forming an interesting record of one of Melanies early concerts, is slightly marred by the fact that her guitar is slightly out of tune on some songs. This seems to have the effect of slightly restraining her performance. The tracks on this album have, so far, not resurfaced anywhere else.
