Very Best of

Great purchase!

This CD is a treasure in the sense of two things: many wonderful songs here; and Marianne Faithfull's voice was still fresh and so beautiful! These recordings were done in the first few years of her singing career, before drugs and smoking took their toll on her voice. After that, I couldn't listen to her. My favorite songs here are "Little Bird" and "Summer Nights," but there are many other good songs, as well. That sweet, young voice was a real gift from God!

it took awhile but I received my used copy - I saw no issues -* it was wrapped in plastic like a new - very satisficedwonderful artist - enjoying the music now - thanks

Thank you

Lots of memorable favorites. I listen to it over and over.

As Tears Go by, Scarbourough Fair, Summer Nights, Come Stay With Me,all deserve to be on Rolling Stones 500 greatest songs list

This CD is only disappointing to me because I really wasn't that familiar with Marianne's music. A friend had recommend it, but I've learned not to always take his advice! But if you are really into her music, I recommend it.

This 16-track London CD was released, despite what Amazon says, in 1987 - just like the 16-track Greatest Hits CD on Abkco. The selections are comparable (not identical), and the sound quality is very similar.However, this CD uses mainly stereo mixes, and the annotation - though rather sloppy in the way many early English CD's were - is pretty thorough. The Abkco CD uses a lot of mono, and its annotion is all but non-existent. So, I'd call this the best single CD compilation of Marianne's 60's music - which makes it essential for Anglophiles.
