A true folk-pop treasure, Melanie was one of the most distinctive voices of the late 1960s, blending intimate acoustic songwriting with a raw emotional depth that set her apart from her contemporaries. Visit My Dreams captures the artist at her earliest and most unguarded, drawing from a remarkable 1969 John Peel Radio Session recorded in London alongside rare European live recordings from that same pivotal year.
This release is a genuine find for fans of Melanie and admirers of late-sixties folk history, presenting the Peel sessions on vinyl for the very first time. The deluxe gatefold sleeve features rare photography by renowned rock photographer Barrie Wentzell, including an iconic portrait from December 1968, accompanied by a printed insert with additional unseen images and liner notes by music journalist Mark Paytress. Highlights include an early embryonic version of the classic Candles in the Rain and previously unreleased home demos from 1968 sourced from original acetates.
