Songs of Innocence and Experience - Marianne Faithfull [CD]

First Marianne Faithfull compilation since 2001's 'An Introduction to...' and the first to contain rare and unreleased material since the Island Anthology 'A Perfect Stranger' in 1998. Containing 4 previously unreleased recordings including 1 completely unheard song. This compilation offers a definitive overview of the first 30 years of Marianne's recording career on the Decca and Island labels, and features versions of all of her notable singles including the original issue of her final Decca 7-inch 'Something Better'/'Sister Morphine' featuring alternate takes unavailable since 1969. The title 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' acknowledges the change in vocal style between Marianne's orchestral folk-pop of her '60s career with her high pure voice and her new wave punk influenced comeback at the end of the '70s with Broken English featuring her trademark fractured vocals.
