She was in the 60s a meaningless average star with hits like "This Little Bird" and "Come And Stay With Me". After years of break (due to drugs and others) came Marianne Faithfull 1979 back with this aggressive and decadent album, but that is absolutely convincing. She is now almost 40 years in the music business, here began a new phase in her work. Despite the beautiful ballad "The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan" This album is very dark and depressing - from the bizarre "Broken English" to the provocative "Why D'Ya Do It".
