content: This 2-CD set features very poor track selection, coupled with a completely pointless track ordering. The tracks are arranged in no chronological order and jump from album to album without any coherency at all. But what really makes this compilation unbearable to listen to is that someone had the sad idea to fiddle with the original mixes, so most of the tracks sound different to the originals - and worse, for that matter. Avoid this mistake of a release - even if you're new to Marianne Faithfull's material and are just willing to get a taste of her music - and buy the albums separately, specially the two masterpieces "Broken English" and "Strange Weather" together in the 1-CD MFSL edition, and also the more recent "Vagabond Ways" and "Before The Poison".
