Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released as her highly publicized, often tumultuous relationship with the Rolling Stones dominated the tabloid press, this compilation summarizes the delicate, profoundly melancholy folk-pop of her early career. The collection heavily features her initial, breathy interpretations of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards compositions alongside traditional balladry, highlighting the pristine, slightly tragic vocal style that initially established her as a major British pop star.
