The
Bible is sometimes referred to as "The Good Book".
The Good Book is a 1971 album released by Melanie and featuring the Top 40 hit 'Nickel Song'. The album also features 'Birthday of the Sun' - a track Melanie originally performed at Woodstock in 1969.
The album was the last 'official' Melanie release from Buddha Records - she left the company to form her own label; however several Buddha albums were later issued featuring 'leftover' material from earlier sessions; in addition to several compilation albums.
