Marianne Faithfull
“Madame George” (Van Morrison cover)
“Idiot’s Delight” radio show, 1995
Bootleg of Marianne rehearsing a shortened version of Van Morrison’s “Madame George” for the American freeform radio show “Idiot’s Delight” hosted by Vin Scelsa. I have to admit I prefer this over the overproduced studio version which was released as a single to accompany the film “Moondance” from the same year in which Marianne starred as “Mother”. Her voice in this bootleg is just beautiful, don’t you think? Other songs that were rehearsed include “Ruby Tuesday” and “Broken English”.
