Marianne Faithfull is no longer the beautiful child with Andrew Loog Oldham’s commercial face and empty eyes. At 26 she’s beginning to resemble a subtle, more luxurious version of Fenella Fielding. Her voice has dropped a full octave and, judging from the distraught images from old newspaper stories, she’s more composed and settled with herself.

In the intervening years, Marianne Faithfull has gone from most desired doll of the U.K. pop explosion to near-casualty of the sexual-chemical battles, to woman of strength and purpose. If there is a more dramatic creative leap than the one that led to 1979s Broken English, it doesnt readily spring to mind.
