Melissa Etheridge – Melissa Etheridge (LP, Album, Club Edition, Stereo, Columbia House, 1988, Island Records A1-90875)

Why This Record Matters
Melissa Etheridge's self-titled debut introduced her powerful blues-rock voice and songwriting, featuring enduring favorites including "Bring Me Some Water," "Like The Way I Do," and "Similar Features." The album established her as one of the standout singer-songwriters of the late 1980s.

Collector Note
Original 1988 U.S. Columbia House Club Edition on Island Records. Vinyl editions of Etheridge's debut were produced in smaller numbers than the CD and cassette formats, making clean original pressings increasingly desirable. This copy is a Columbia House issue.
