Broken English: Deluxe Edition

Re-mastered and expanded deluxe version of Marianne Faithfull’s 1979 debut album for Island Records, Broken English.

Disc One contains the original album as an enhanced disc which also features the short 12 minute film specially commissioned for the album release and directed by Derek Jarman. It’s basically three promotional videos for "Witches Song", "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan" and "Broken English", featuring unique footage of Marianne spliced together with stock footage and some of Derek Jarman’s trademark Super-8 film. This is the first time that this film has ever been commercially available.

Disc Two contains the entire original mix of the album which was thought to have been lost but surfaced during the tape research for this Deluxe Edition. Also included are a re-record of "Sister Morphine" only previously available on the Marianne Faithfull anthology, Perfect Strangers and four bonus tracks in the form of the 7" and 12" mixes of "Broken English" and "Why’d Ya Do It ?", which appear on CD for the very first time.
