(1972) |"Garden In The City" is a Melanie album released by Buddha Records in 1972. Although marketed as an album of new recordings it was actually a compilation of 'leftover' songs from Melanie's time at that label and released (without her consent) after she left to form her own label. Two of the songs had been previously released on the soundtrack album to the 'R.P.M.' movie in 1970.
In the United Kingdom the album had a 'scratch n sniff' label on the sleeve with the message 'Rub gently to release the magic of Melanie's Garden'.
'People in the Front Row' was later sampled by Australian hip-hop group
Hilltop Hoods for their song "The Nosebleed Section ". Melanie was reportedly pleased with the use of her inclusion in this recording.Track listing
