These Albums were mastered in Half-Speed technology which allows more time for the Original Session Master Tape to be transferred perfectly to Vinyl, a very costly and time-consuming process that was also used by Mo - Fi.

Each has superior packaging and unique static free inner sleeves to protect each piece of vinyl. Known for their pure and natural sound - still considered some of the best Vinyl ever created. Mymusicfix only has a few of these NAUTILUS SUPERDISC Pressings available and could be the last in this Factory Sealed condition. Don’t Miss Out!!

In spite of the deceiving title of this ALBUM, This collection is packed with depth and the vunerable openness of emotions. From the opening track, one of my favorite's, Shine Like You Should. To the the second track, my other favorite, Caravan. Both songs go hand in hand to imply an urge to be confident in who you are. Don't Cry Out Loud is a song about self-preservation and pride which became the top 10 hit off this album. Don't Cry is followed by a jazzy tasty love song called Almost Everything and a remake of a Stevie Wonder song Bad Weather, a song about relationship troubles. Melissa wrote a song imspired by a TV movie called Through The Eyes Of Grace, which is reminds me of Bette Midler's Hello In There. To Make You Smile Again is released here in it's original version, while a remake of this song is on her Tribute CD. Singing From My Soul is originally from her Help Is On The Way LP. She added more lyrics to this version. The remaining two songs are the plaintive ballad Such A Morning and the sizzler Knowing My Love's Alive

This is one of those Rare cover to cover recordings that really puts your system to the test . A true Rare Collectible.

Melissa is the third album by Melissa Manchester, released on the Arista Records label in 1975. It reached #12 on the Billboard Albums chart on the strength of her first U.S. Top Ten hit "Midnight Blue" (#6). There are many great collaborations here with Melissa and her good friend Carol Bayer Sager - resulting in some beautiful songs such as the should-have-been-a-hit WE'VE GOT TIME, STEVE'S WONDER, THIS LADY'S NOT HOME TODAY and her big beautiful ballad hit, MIDNIGHT BLUE which was #1 on Adult Contemporary and #6 on Billboard pop. Also included here are some of my many MM's favourites - JUST TOO MANY PEOPLE (#2 AC and #30 POP), written by Melissa and producer Vinci Ponica (a protege of Richard Perry) and I GOT EYES (by Melissa Manchester). Others include the swingy PARTY MUSIC, LOVE HAVIN' YOU AROUND - a soulful Steve Wonder and Syreeta composition, and Randy Newman's I DON'T WANT HEAR IT ANYMORE and ITS GONNA BE ALRIGHT.

This is Melissa's at her peak of song writing and a great debut for Arista.
