2019 release. The French have always loved Marianne Faithfull and the feeling is reciprocated: today she has a flat in Paris on the grand Boulevard du Montparnasse. Back in the mid-1960s Marianne was a regular performer on French television: such shows provide the majority of the songs featured here, all presented in excellent sound quality. Nicely packaged compilation of TV appearances.

In 1965, Marianne Faithful released two debut albums simultaneously, a self-titled pop album and an album called Come My Way comprised somewhat unexpectedly of folk tunes. While the first album generally reaffirmed her persona as she-devil and soulless poster child of that hedonistic generation, the latter gave listeners a fleeting glimpse of a hidden darker side, perhaps an unintentional foretelling of those black days that would soon follow. This reissue features four bonus tracks: her classic 1969 single "Sister Morphine", released prior to the Rolling Stones' version, the 1964 B-side "Blowin' in the Wind", "Et Maintenant," from a 1965 EP, and the 1966 B-side "That's Right Baby."

Marianne Faithfull's best work since Broken English (1979), featuring collaborative tracks with the likes of Beck Hansen, Blur, Jarvis Cocker, Dave Eurythmic Stewart and Billy "Somebody Forgot To Kill Me" Corgan. Apparently not destined for US release. "Faithfull's cracked growl and painfully personal lyrics are an acquired taste. But if you can deal with sexual and emotional honesty, as well as deliberately eclectic tunes and textures, you'll be treated to bold, bitter, and elegantly profane pop art."
