Marianne Faithfull - Broken English (LP) (Very Good Plus (VG+))
Marianne Faithfull – Broken English
LP, Album | Island Records | Cat. No. ILPS 9570 | US | 1979
One of the great comeback records in rock history — Broken English marked Marianne Faithfull's stunning reinvention after years away from the spotlight. Raw, confrontational, and deeply political, it pairs her weathered, world-weary voice with post-punk electronics and art rock arrangements. Featuring Steve Winwood among the musicians and produced by Mark Miller Mundy, the album includes her definitive take on John Lennon's Working Class Hero and the incendiary closer Why D'Ya Do It. Mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound (denoted by the ─◁ runout stamp), distributed by Warner Bros. Records.
