2LP compilation bringing together all of Marianne Faithfull's non-album singles, B-sides and rarities released in the UK alongside four previously unreleased recordings. The set has been remastered from the original tapes by the Grammy-nominated Andrew Batt who also provides detailed sleeve notes which Marianne contributed to before her passing in January 2025. The unreleased recordings include 'A Strange World', the pop track earmarked by her discoverer Andrew Loog Oldham as the follow up to 'As Tears Go By' but abandoned in favour of Marianne's choice of Bob Dylan's 'Blowin' in the Wind' (also included), a haunting acapella version of 'She Moved Thru' the Fair' from the 'North Country Maid' sessions, an outtake from 'Loveinamist' that gives this set its title, and an alternative version of Donovan's trippy 'Good Guy', also from 'Loveinamist'. The compilation also includes a couple of Marianne's early compositions 'Oh Look Around You' and 'I'd Like to Dial Your Number' that appeared on the B-sides of her UK singles, alongside more well-known releases like her only UK EP 'Go Away from My World' featuring 'The Most of What Is Least', written for her by Donovan, and a series of singles including 'Summer Nights' (included here in its original 7-inch version as well as the more well-known recording that appeared on her greatest hits), 'Tomorrow's Calling' and her superlative cover of The Ronettes' 'Is This What I Get for Loving You?'. The collection closes with Marianne's final Decca release 'Something Better' which signifed the end of an era in more ways than one, even though it would be the self-penned lyrics to the B-side, 'Sister Morphine', that became a defining artistic statement, and one that eventually led Marianne to her next musical quantum leap.
