Marianne Faithfull: A Life on Record. This item is unavailable.Marianne Faithfull: A Life on Record

The first illustrated book about Marianne Faithfull. All other books by or about Faithfull are biographies (official and unofficial) and are at most very lightly illustrated. Faithfull's appeal is pan-generational and transcends genres: the book will find her considerable music audience but will appeal strongly to fashion markets, with photography by a roster of leading names, where she has been a muse of style for decades.

A lavish and beautifully illustrated look at the life and work of one of the great musical icons of the twentieth century, reflected through unpublished personal photographs as well as the lenses of the world's greatest photographers.

Marianne Faithfull is a singer, songwriter, and actress whose work helped define the cultural revolution of the 1960s and beyond. Having begun her career as a folk singer in small venues around London, Faithfull was discovered by the Rolling Stones' producer Andrew Loog Oldham, and went on to a successful career of more than twenty albums merging folk with rock and pop music. Since the 1960s she has collaborated with such icons as the Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Emmylou Harris, Joe Jackson, Blur, Beck, and Nick Cave, among many others. Alongside her music, Faithfull has maintained a critically successful career as an actor in theatre, film, and television, having worked with such luminaries as Orson Welles, Jean-Luc Godard, Alain Delon, and Sofia Coppola. She lives in Paris.
