I am so very excited about this record. I love Marianne. I was kind of dissapointed when I found out it was a covers record (Not that most of her songs are not covers), I just hoped she would have some originals on there. I am sure it will be good anyway. I also hope that the Special edition is realesed in the US.

Great. Another Marianne Faithfull covers album. Do Not Want.

What are you on about?

I'm oh so excited for this. I was (also) hoping for an album but I think the collaborations here sort of balance that out. Has an exact date been released?
