A Secret Life

First global vinyl pressing for Marianne Faithfull’s final album for Island records. 1995’s A Secret Life received its only vinyl issue in Greece, and copies are hard to come by with collectors now expected to pay anywhere between £50 and £200 for a copy.

The album was a new direction for Marianne and was written with the Italian composer Angelo Badalamenti, known for his atmospheric scores to David Lynch’s films. The result successfully marries his multi-layered orchestral production style with Marianne’s trademark voice and poetic lyrics to create a wholly original and timeless album.

Marianne’s other 90's albums 20th Century Blues and Vagabond Ways have recently appeared on vinyl, so this could join the dots for collectors.
