Marianne Faithful - Come And Stay With Me

Marianne Faithfull
Come And Stay With Me / What Have I Done Wrong
Decca F 12075 (1965)

She began her career as a teenage folk singer on the London scene in 1964.  Having attended a Rolling Stones party that year with the artist John Dunbar, she was "discovered" by their manager Andrew Loog Oldham who gained her a recording contract with Decca records. 

Her first release was with "As Tears Go By" a Jagger/Richards (and Oldham) composition which was a top 10 hit.

This 45 was her third, released by the label in February 1965 where it reached #4 in the UK charts.  Both tracks also appeared on her 1965 debut, self-titled, album.

In May 1965 Marianne married John Dunbar but the following year she had a much-publicised relationship with Mick Jagger, leaving her husband to live with him. As a couple they were part of the hip "Swinging London" scene 

Her influence on Jagger is reflected on some the Rolling Stones songs of the period such as "Sympathy for the Devil" inspired by the book "The Master and Margarita", written by Mikhail Bulgakov, a book that she introduced to him . The song "You Can't Always Get What You Want" from the 1969 album "Let It Bleed" was supposedly written and composed about her.

The Animals The Animals Is Here EP Columbia SEG 8374 (1964) An early EP from the original lineup of the band namely vocalist Eric Burdon, guitarist Hilton Valentine, bass guitarist Chas Chandler, keyboardist Alan Price and drummer John Steel.  The group formed in Newcastle upon Tyne during 1962 and 1963 when Burdon joined the Alan Price Rhythm and Blues Combo and they performed as the Alan Price Combo. They later changed their name to the Animals. They were supposedly dubbed "animals" because of their wild stage act, and the name stuck. Known for their gritty, bluesy sound, they balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm-and-blues-oriented album material and were part of the British Invasion of the US. FLAC
