Autumn Lady

Autumn Lady was the name of a project started in 1973 but was waylaid and forgotten about and was later replaced by the 1974 album As I See it Now. This album represents the songs that were intended to become that album - some became singles (‘Bitter Bad’ and the Goffin & King classic ‘Will you love me Tomorrow?’)…but most remained unheard. Limited pressing LP of 700, pressed on deep red vinyl, CD version gives the customer a wider range of material considered for this album in 1973 across 2 discs, crammed with rare tracks. Including the controversial 27-minute version of ‘Hearing The News’. Packaged in deluxe card gatefold sleeve with colour booklet and liner notes by Melanie’s manager and UK music journalist Dave Thompson.
