Customer Reviews very good with minor flaws I normally don't buy remastered songs for the reason that they tend to lose their originality but after listening to cuts on these songs on the players offered they sounded quite good, there are better remasters out there though. Some of the originality of several of these songs on this cd have been lost with the remastering, but all in all, this is still a pretty good cd. A 60s Nostolgia CD This is really the only collection to have since she didn't have a very long career. If you had the vinyl album, you will remember that the Greatest Hits record had all of her radio hits. The CD has some added "cuts" to fill out the play time for CD format. Frankly, the added cuts aren't very good. Check out your old vinyl jacket cover for the origianl songs and stop the CD when you get to the last original song. Otherwise, this was a nice trip down memory lane. Fresh young Marianne at her best Also that this would be better titled as "Greatest from the 60's" or "Early Years", but one camp likes her later works, etc. What can I say about Faithful's voice post 60s? She essentially went from one breed of singer (like a Nico, Vasthi, Ross Hannaman or other tonal folksy female singers) to another entirely just by "trashing" her voice smoking so much! Not even like Marlene Dietrich or Julie London who started out "youngish-sounding" and then the vocal damage added a bit of mystery to their later recordings; Faithful just (to me) sounds horrid trying to re-record anything she did from this era now! I agree that "Sister Morphine" would have been better replaced by her version of "I'm a Loser" which was still at her peak of youthful vocal quality. . I'm just glad both levels were recorded in her singing career span and those that like each of her efforts can have that available. .
