Description

Available with Vinyl records London. Clear Vinyl Vinyl Records Heavyweight LP Marianne Faithfull 180gram clear vinyl in slip sleeveBefore the Poison is an album that concerns itself with both sides of love, friendship, and redemption, not desolation or desperation.That said, there is plenty of human shadow in these ten songs. PJ Harvey wrote three songs here, cowrote a pair with Faithfull, and is present on all of them. Nick Cave cowrote three with the singer and his Bad Seeds back her on these tracks. She also cowrote one a piece with Blurs Damon Albarn and composer Jon Brion. Along with Harvey and Cave, Rob Ellis and Hal Willner aided in production. Therefore, Before the Poison, like its predecessor, Kissin Time, is an album of collaborations. But unlike that offering, this one is seamless its songs are sequenced impeccably and all feel of a piece linked by emotional thematics.Before the Poison is poetic and unnerving it stands alone in her catalog in the same way that Broken English did but this time, on the other side of the mirror. This reissue is a special one with a clear vinyl edition.

Official Clear Vinyl

See the music. Clear vinyl editions showcase the beauty of the record itself, often used for exclusive or special releases. Collectable, modern, and a striking addition to any turntable.

Official Heavyweight LP

Pressed on thicker, higher-grade vinyl — often 180 grams — for improved durability and fidelity. Heavyweight LPs reduce surface noise and deliver a deeper, more stable sound, making them a preferred choice for serious listeners.
