WORLD OF MARIANNE FAITHFULL PA 17 (-69) UK MONO

Mainly a collection of A-sides with a few B:s, some non-LP. The UK double mono/stereo issue was released at the same time as the US stereo compilation "Marianne Faithfull's Greatest Hits"(London PS 547) with different cover but same tracking and track order, the US only '45 "Go Away From My World" included as eleventh and last cut on both. The two compilations are clearly related, though I'm not sure which was the original. Don't have access to an early US press for now, but as the UK has Decca stamped matrix no. only (ARL.8748/9 P-1A) without any other reference it may be the original. This mono sounds like a fold from the corresponding stereo, but enjoyable enough. The UK stereo LP (SPA 17) came with two re-channeled tracks. First common mono/stereo cover had die-cut hole on rear and lilac front as shown here. (WÖF*)(FÄV*)
