Marianne Faithfull dies

Marianne Faithfull died today. She was one of my childhood
favorites, thanks to my oldest brother having her album at the
house (the one called Marianne Faithfull that had As Tears Go By
on it). I played it often, and loved every song.
The album disappeared along the way and I made a few attempts at
various record stores to replace it. They often were familiar
with the album but had not seen a copy in years.
I finally found it on CD online on Ebay -- same cover, but a
song was missing and several different ones were added. Maybe
the UK version of the album. Anyway, she had a very rough time
in her young adulthood and I guess she is fortunate to have
lived to 78.
Rest in peace.

So having gone down memory lane with the above post, I went to
Ebay and there are many of that album offered for sale now.
Wasn't the case in the late 90s/early 00s or whenever exactly it
was that I bought the CD.
So I bought one of them. It was delivered yesterday. :)
