About the album Broken English

Marianne Faithfull, after many personal tragedies, returns in late 1979 with Broken English and reemerges in the spotlight with this album.

The owner of Island Records, Chris Blackwell, listened to the album's demos and wanted to proceed with a collaboration with her. Broken English is musically adapted to what was happening in the late decade in the U.S.A. and Britain (new wave, reggae, punk), and this was something that was liked.

More than half of the songs on the album steadily appear in Marianne Faithfull's collections and best-ofs from time to time. In Germany, it sold 250,000 copies.
