2023 Vinyl Reissues is by Marianne Faithfull. Now available from Vinyl Records Manchester on sale in stock and in a brand new condition priced at only £90 + delivery. Easy Come, Easy GoDouble 180gram white vinyl in gatefold sleeve.Songstress Marianne Faithfull last collaborated with producer Hal Willner on her iconic Strange Weather album in 1987 and the match also feels effortless and natural here. Like Strange Weather, Easy Come Easy Go is a covers collection, featuring Faithfull in different musical settings and interpreting the songs of everyone from Merle Haggard to Smokey Robinson to Duke Ellington to Randy Newman to the Decemberists to Morrissey with a killer guest list including Antony Hegarty, Rufus Wainwright, Teddy Thompson, Kate amp Anna McGarrigle, Jarvis Cocker, Jenni Muldaur, Sean Lennon, Warren Ellis, Nick Cave, and Keith Richards. The core band on this set includes old friends like Marc Ribot and Greg Cohen as well as drummer Jim White, Rob Burger, Doug Weiselman, Steve Weisberg, Barry Reynolds, Steven Bernstein, Marty Ehrlich, and Lenny Pickett.The sense of stylistic sprawl on these 12 songs is incredible. For example, the album opener, a cover of Dolly Partons Down from Dover, features the full band and guests numbering 18 strong Faithfulls trademark deepthroated, whiskeyandcigarettesravaged voice shows up in excellent form and take you on journeys through love, lust, tragedy, and longing and bring you home again. This reissue is a special one with a white coloured vinyl edition.Horses and High HeelsDouble 180g yellow vinyl in gatefold sleeve.Produced by longterm collaborator Hal Willner, Marianne Faithfulls 19th studio album, Horses and High Heels, sees the 60s icon revisit eight classic songs from her heyday on her second consecutive coversheavy album, following 2009s Easy Come Easy Go. Its 13 tracks include reworkings of the ShangriLas Past, Present and Future, Lesley Duncans Love Song, and Dusty Springfields Goin Back, alongside several new compositions Why Did We Have to Part, The Old House and guest appearances from Lou Reed, Dr. John and MC5s Wayne Kramer. This reissue is a special one with a yellow coloured vinyl edition.Give My Love To London180g red vinyl in gatefold sleeveFaithfulls previous four albums in the 21st century have all been strong, but this one tops them.Her writing collaborators here include Nick Cave, Anna Calvi, Ed Harcourt, Patrick Leonard, and Tom McRae. Her bandmates are an allstar unit too, and include Harcourt, Adrian Utley, Dimitri Tikovoi, Rob and Warren Ellis, and strings. Cave cowrote one song with her the tender Deep Water and one for her the glorious Late Victorian Holocaust, the albums hinge piece.Give My Love to London is as complete a portrait of the artist at least from the late 70s on as weve ever had. In total, it reveals no abatement in her creative renaissance. This reissue is a special one with a red coloured vinyl edition.Before The Poison180gram clear vinyl in slip sleeveBefore the Poison is an album that concerns itself with both sides of love, friendship, and redemption, not desolation or desperation.That said, there is plenty of human shadow in these ten songs. PJ Harvey wrote three songs here, cowrote a pair with Faithfull, and is present on all of them. Nick Cave cowrote three with the singer and his Bad Seeds back her on these tracks. She also cowrote one a piece with Blurs Damon Albarn and composer Jon Brion. Along with Harvey and Cave, Rob Ellis and Hal Willner aided in production. Therefore, Before the Poison, like its predecessor, Kissin Time, is an album of collaborations. But unlike that offering, this one is seamless its songs are sequenced impeccably and all feel of a piece linked by emotional thematics.Before the Poison is poetic and unnerving it stands alone in her catalog in the same way that Broken English did but this time, on the other side of the mirror. This reissue is a special one with a clear vinyl edition.. Reissues Vinyl Hit the Read More Button, for more track details and delivery information.
