My ex husband was my boyfriend then. He was the one who grew up around the corner. I just stayed at the flat over weekends to do my washing etc. because I rented a bedsit room on the New Kings Road with a small gas ring to cook on on the floor at that stage. Loved Granny Takes a Trip though. Brought a maxi dress from there & loved their great coats.
She has got a good clear singing voice on this Beatles song. Marianne Faithful was needlessly ridiculed by the press in the late 1960's. She was only young, it must have been devastating for her to endure. My X husband & I lived locally to them so know the nasty gossip was going around.

A role model she wasn't, but l loved her.
She never was given fair consideration and was lost in the bevy of talent. The 60's were rife with female vocalists and a deep pool to swim in.
