Marianne Faithfull: ‘I always knew I was something quite extraordinary’ – archive, 1979
...Marianne Faithfull album that is actually very good indeed but will be controversial for all the wrong reasons – there’s one song on it by Heathcote Williams that upset EMI so much that they refused to press or distribute the record..., Island has made other arrangements for bringing it out, as this album finally proves that Marianne can write, and sing (this time with a compelling, cracked voice) with enough flair and invention to set her in the British contemporary vanguard.
