Melanie is one of the most passionate and eloquent voices to emerge from the singer-songwriter era, and Close To It All offers a rare and intimate glimpse into her artistry at its peak. This release brings together live recordings from London in 1971 alongside rare broadcast recordings captured for television and radio audiences in the USA and Holland, making it a compelling document of a remarkable performer in her prime.

Spanning performances from 1970 to 1972, Close To It All captures Melanie across a variety of settings, including a memorable collaboration with The Edwin Hawkins Singers and a previously unreleased studio outtake, offering both longtime fans and new listeners an exciting range of material. This limited edition pressing on striking ruby red vinyl is a fitting way to experience these rare recordings, presented with a full colour printed inner bag that adds a thoughtful finishing touch to the package.
