Marianne Faithfull had been enjoying a ‘period of reflection’ prior to her death
A four-track EP of recordings made prior to her death is to go on sale on Record Store Day.
Singer Marianne Faithfull had said she was enjoying a “period of reflection” prior to her death earlier this year.
It comes as a new four-track EP named Burning Moonlight will be released on limited edition vinyl on April 12 for Record Store Day (RSD), which supports independent record shops, before being released on streaming platforms on June 6.
After completing the project, Faithfull said prior to her death: “It’s a good time to look back, it helps me to remember all the things I’ve done.
“I can’t say I’m a particularly nostalgic person, but I am enjoying this period of reflection.”
The record was due to be announced as part of the RSD list in February, but was put on hold after the As Tears Go By singer’s death aged 78 on January 30.
Her son Nicholas Dunbar said of the EP: ““As we grieve the loss of Marianne, we are pleased to announce the release of these songs which she worked on during the year before her death.
