Marianne Faithfull’s Decca Albums Set for Reissue
The Timeless Echo of Marianne Faithfull: Vinyl Reissues on the Horizon
In a celebration of musical legacy, Proper Records has announced the upcoming reissues of Marianne Faithfull’s prized Decca albums, set to hit shelves on June 27, 2025. This initiative, crafted in collaboration with the iconic artist before her passing earlier this year, promises to breathe new life into her seminal works, including Marianne Faithfull, Come My Way, North Country Maid, and Loveinamist.
Originally released between 1965 and 1967, these albums symbolize a golden era in Faithfull’s career—an era marked by rich studio collaborations and an indelible impact on the music scene that would follow. Each record captures the essence of a young woman navigating the complexities of fame and identity, all while redefining what it meant to be a singer-songwriter in a rapidly evolving landscape.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Fans can also look forward to Cast Your Fate To The Wind, a special 2xLP compilation that gathers an eclectic mix of singles, B-sides, and rare tracks—truly a treasure trove for collectors. The release will be complemented by a 6xCD box set that not only compiles the aforementioned albums and rarities but also includes a captivating 76-page book filled with rare and unpublished photographs. This intimate glimpse into Faithfull’s life is sure to enrich the experience for both ardent fans and newcomers alike.
Earlier this year, the airwaves buzzed with the announcement of a posthumous EP featuring tracks that Faithfull had diligently worked on shortly before her death. This upcoming release is a poignant reminder that while Faithfull’s voice may have been silenced, her artistry continues to resonate.
As we anticipate the arrival of these reissues, there’s a sense of continuity in Faithfull’s work—a shared commitment to authenticity and emotional depth that seems as relevant today as it was in the 1960s. With Proper Records stepping in to honor her legacy, Marianne Faithfull’s music promises to live on, inviting a new generation to explore the stories woven into each note and lyric.
Mark your calendars for June 27, 2025; this is more than just a reissue—it’s a revival of a spirit that has never waned.
