Marianne Faithfull - "Broken English" (1979)




Marianne Faithfull is still with us and I am a grateful admirer.

"Broken English" was the result of her surviving the 1970s, erm, I mean years of homelessness, drug abuse, and various health problems. This was the new and improved Marianne Faithfull no longer a lovely ornament of the 1960s. This version was a gravelly voiced, blunt, foul mouthed beast who loudly and proudly proclaimed she was not here to take anyone's shit any longer.

It's all right here... and this is the original pressing with "Why'd Ya Do It?"
