Released in 1979 following periods of homelessness, heroin addiction, and scandal, Marianne Faithfull's opus recovered her from exile and captured a generation's.

Marianne Faithfull‘s 1979 album Broken English was reissued on Monday 28th January as a two-CD deluxe edition. Faithfull’s journey from ’60s pop star muse to ’70s homeless junkie is well documented, and this album was borne out of the touring band that was put together to capitalise on unexpected success in the Irish charts with her Dreamin’ My Dreams single, from the ‘comeback’ country album of the same name (reissued in 1978 as Faithless).

Other highlights include Guilt, with its funky bass and synths (courtesy of a certain Steve Winwood) and The Ballard Of Lucy Jordan (originally performed by Dr Hook). A cover of Lennon’s Working Class Hero, on paper, looks like a mistake, but Faithfull does what Bowie’s Tin Machine didn’t do ten years later, and keeps it very minimal. Although she wasn’t from a working class background (technically, neither was Lennon), she carries it off with remarkable conviction. Why D’ya Do It?
