Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars ...and the audience for this record is?.......2005-06-28

do not get the wrong idea...this disc is absolutely filled with great tracks, but who was it aimed at...?
Any "faithfull" fan has all this stuff either on the original records, or on "The Perfect Stranger" collection. I'm sure that the SUV moms will be lining up for this collection (...like they would know who it was to begin with) I give it three stars strictly for the material. Universal gets a big "up yours" for this shameless repackaging.
...although, if they included "Why D'Ya Do It"...

"...kids, cover your ears! It's a dirty song, we're at a stop light...!"

3 out of 5 stars Narrow Focus.......2004-06-23

This skimpy collection completely ignores Faithfull's career up to the groundbreaking 1979 album Broken English. The songs are drawn from that album (the title track, Ballad Of Lucy Jordan and Working Class Hero) and from subsequent albums of the next two decades like Dangerous Acquaintances, A Child's Adventure, Strange Weather and A Secret Life.

The music is brilliant, especially Lucy Jordan (a minor hit in 1979), the later versions of Sister Morphine and As Tears Go By plus her rendition of Lennon's Working Class Hero and Patti Smith's ghost dance, but they represent only a tiny fraction of her memorable catalogue. Major omissions that are highlights of her career include Why'd Ya Do It? (The Heathcote Williams poem), Sweetheart, Intrigue, For Beauty's Sake, Sign Of Judgment and Times Square.
