Marianne Faithfull - Eye Communication: Live at The Wax Museum 1983

For the first time ever, experience Marianne Faithfull live, raw, and at a turning point in her artistic rebirth. Captured on October 2nd, 1983, at the Wax Museum in Washington, D.C., this previously unreleased performance documents Faithfull in the midst of her early-’80s resurgence—following Broken English and just ahead of A Child's Adventure. Unearthed from the original analogue tapes, this intimate live set showcases her striking vocal transformation—no longer the ingénue of the ’60s, but an artist reborn with a voice of grit, depth, and emotional intensity. A rare and unfiltered snapshot of a pivotal moment, revealing the power and vulnerability that would define her later work. Transferred from the original tapes and restored and mastered by Andrew Batt, the recording delivers exceptional clarity while preserving the immediacy of the performance. The limited-edition 180-gram 2-LP set features music across three sides with an etching featuring William Blake poetry on side 4 of the second LP. A true collector’s item, the package also includes a booklet with newly written liner notes by Andrew Batt, previously unseen photographs and rare ephemera.
