Digitally remastered edition of this 1972 album by the folk singer/songwriter. 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 record label. Two of the songs had been previously released on the soundtrack album to the movie R. P. M. (produced by Barry de Vorzon & Perry Botkin, Jr.) in 1970. The song "People in the Front Row" was later sampled by Australian hip hop group Hilltop Hoods for their song "The Nosebleed Section".
