Marianne Faithfull – Cast Your Fate To The Wind: The Singles, B-Sides, and Rarities (2LP)

This new 2LP compilation groups together all Marianne’s non-album singles, B-sides and rarities released in the UK alongside four previously unreleased recordings. The set has been remastered from the original tapes by the Grammy nominated Andrew Batt who also provides detailed sleevenotes which Marianne contributed to before her passing in January 2025.

The unreleased recordings include ‘A Strange World’, the pop track earmarked by her discoverer Andrew Loog Oldham as the follow up to ‘As Tears Go By’ but abandoned in favour of Marianne’s choice of Bob Dylan’s ‘Blowin’ In The Wind’ (also included), a haunting acapella version of ‘She Moved Thru The Fair’ from the North Country Maid sessions, an outtake from Loveinamist that gives this set its title, and an alternative version of Donovan’s trippy ‘Good Guy’ also from Loveinamist.
