Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Music ratings Garden in the City is a Melanie album released by Buddah Records in 1971. 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 United Kingdom release of the album had a "scratch 'n' sniff" label on the sleeve with the message "Rub gently to release the magic of Melanie's Garden."

The song "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 song in this recording. [1]

Reception

In their review, Record World stated that "Melanie fans who can't get enough of her wonderful stuff will pick this one up in quick time."[2]

Allmusic noted that "in fact it isn't too bad" yet conceded that "this curiosity is now remembered more for its scratch 'n' sniff "smell Melanie's Magic Garden" cover than for its content."[3]
