Marianne Faithfull - Madame George

This is Marianne's cover of the great Van Morrison song Madame George and is a rehearsal recording for a US radio show. The finished song I believe appears on a CD titled 'The Songs Of Van Morrison'..
Note: all these tracks are just that, rehearsals and quite different to the
vesions on her Secret Life & Broken English CD's. Also I don't know of any
other recordings of her doing Ruby Tuesday. Please see download link below

It is on a compilation album called No Prima Donna. Also features a lovely version of Coney Island by Liam Neeson.

Do you happen to have any more bootlegs or demos or things like that? I'm absolutely obsessed with Marianne as well, only have live bootlegs. Great upload btw. thanks.

[@henry8smallwood]

Other than Van himself, no one better to capture the mood of this song.

[@MSYNGWIE12]

This is a thought-poem and works quite well as spoken word. In fact, IMO, it should be "read" as a poem out loud.

[@jacmac3118]

Marianne faithful is good, but it just makes you appreciate how much van morrison is better, at singing his own songs

[@konig82new]

The link doesnt work! Can you please upload it somewhere else? Thank you in advance!

[@jeffreyspaulding934]

The download link doesn't work anymore, does anyone know where else to get this?

[@MSYNGWIE12]

Carol I just clicked on that link and it seems dormant-

[@manoneal1724]

Jeff Buckely did a cover of this song which, although not great from start to finish, contains some very soulful moments.

[@TheJohndoe63]

[@nedohamilli]

[@marilynbowkett3773]

Sorry Marianne, but you definitely shouldn't have attempted this....leave it to The Man.
