THE BEST OF THE EARLY STUFF

"This has some of the best pre-heroin recordings of Mariannes's.
She did folk very well and some of these were on the U.S. release entitled "Go Away From My World". Some of my personal favorites are: "Sunny Goodge Street", "North Country Maid", "Sally Free and Easy" and a great version of "Scarborough Fair". The bonus tracks, with the exception of "Come My Way", I had never heard before and I'm a voracious Marianne Faithfull fan. The only song missing from this collection entitled "North Country Maid" (there have been others) is a song Donovan wrote for her called "Young Girl's Blues".
A sweet and innocent time for Marianne!"
Flawless recording of Marianne's from the sixties.

"As any fan of Marianne Faithfull is aware of. There is the early years of Marianne from her days working with DECCA. And than later years when Marianne's voice and style changed quite dramatically. Suffice to say that both early and later years are superb. But if you really what to hear a GREAT early album of Marianne's I would have to say start here with North Country Maid. A very acoustic folky,sound to it. Marianne's voice is absolutely beautiful. Very sweet,soft and feminine.This is my favorite of Marianne's earlier albums. (Also recommened Marianne's 'Loveinamist')."
