This is Marianne as we should remember her, not what she became. The budget release World Of was the only compilation released in the 1960s containing all her hits. Was Is This What I Get For Loving You the best single never to make the top twenty?
“These recordings are absolutely essential to almost any serious music lover’s collection. It wrenches you listening to her pure voice and knowing of the personal and vocal decay which spawned so quickly later on.”
“This was the era, of course, in which Faithfull was still a fairly high-voiced pop-folk singer, and not the far earthier one she'd become when she emerged with a much deeper and more gravely voice in her late '70s comeback.”
“Fortunately devoid of the atrocious Sister Morphine or anything from the 70s and 80s when she reinvented herself, these are the songs which made her famous.”
“It's a classic album of mid sixties girl singer, taking on pop hits, and more adventurous material with folk leanings. Her voice has a sweet, pure quality that suggests a certain air of innocence. It's full of passion, but none of the pain that would mark her later recordings.”
“The choice of material is excellent - most of these songs have beautiful melodies and strong hooks, while the lyrics are often poetic too.”
“The production and arrangements perfectly complement her voice, to provide a wonderful listening experience. This is truly the crème de la crème of sixties pop and goes to show that pop music can be timeless too.”
“This is an extremely nice album and shows her at her prime with a very clear and distinctive voice, good songs and accompaniment. A great collection of all the songs you will remember her singing. This was a fabulous nostalgia trip and has been played a lot. If you love the songs of that era then you will want this one very much.”
