Melting Pot (The Charlatans Album)
Melting Pot is a greatest hits collection by the British band The Charlatans (known in the United States as The Charlatans UK). Featuring tracks from their time on Beggars Banquet Records between 1990 and 1997 the album was released on 23 February 1998. The cover features a picture of The Weaverdale cafe (now renamed The Melting Pot) in Northwich, the site of the group's first meeting after signing to Beggars in 1990. The song "Opportunity Three" is a remix by Flood of the song "Opportunity" from the Some Friendly album that otherwise only appeared on the Over Rising EP.
The album was re-released on 20 May 2002 with a slipcase to match the artwork of b-sides compilation Songs From The Other Side. No changes were made to the album artwork or tracklisting.

Famous quotes containing the words melting and/or pot:
“Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
Yet slower yet, oh faintly gentle springs:
List to the heavy part the music bears,
“Woe weeps out her division when she sings.”
Droop herbs and flowers;
Fall grief in showers;
“Our beauties are not ours”:
Oh, I could still,
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
Drop, drop, drop, drop,
Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“James Joyce is the new Euphues: the melting pot of the language and of present literary idiom and banality.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
