Photograph is an album released by American singer Melanie in 1976, her only release on Atlantic Records. The album contains "Cyclone" which was released as a single.
Ahmet Ertegün, who had signed Melanie to his label, was credited with creative direction on the album, was involved with the album's recording, and present at all vocal sessions and mixes.
Despite positive reviews and a publicity tour that saw appearances on American Bandstand, The Mike Douglas Show and The Brady Bunch Hour, the album went largely unnoticed by the public and failed to chart in America. The album was only released in the United States, Australia and New Zealand. For reasons unknown, Atlantic Records pulled the album from distribution shortly after its release.
The album was reissued by Rhino Records in 2005 as an individually numbered limited edition of 3,500 copies. The reissue contained a remastered version of the album plus a second disc of tracks recorded during the same sessions.
