===========================================================================

Melanie Safka was a popular singer-song writer and acoustic guitar player during the late 60's through the 70's.

She had performed at many well known events such as 1969 Woodstock and Glastonbury Festival in June 1971.

The Isle of Wight Festival in August 1970, where she was introduced by Keith Moon and received four standing ovations.

Melanie set the record for the first female performer to have three Top 40 hits concurrently.

She was awarded Billboard's #1 Top Female Vocalist award for 1972.

By 1973, Melanie retreated from the spotlight to start a family, her daughter was born the same year.

She returned In 1976, released one album on Atlantic Records, titled "Photograph".

Melanie continued to perform and release albums through the rest of her career.

On this night Melanie performs over 2 hours and sings her unique cover of the Rolling Stones' "Ruby Tuesday".

She does tell a funny story about her song "Brand New Key" when it was being recorded.

Consequently it was also banned on some radio stations, for presumably having unintended sexual innuendo.

Which was completely unfounded. Just goes to show you how morally conservative the radio world was in the 1970's.

There is a quick tape flip during track 8 @ 2:01 min.

Another tape flip after Track 14. No music missing.

Otherwise this is complete.

Grab this up and take home a rare and unique piece of folk history.
