The good album in Barber’s reckoning is Broken English. In which case, why does she continue to fascinate? She has dismissed her early recordings as “cheesecake”, though her habitual flintiness has prompted others to diminish her achievements too: in a famously combative interview with Lynn Barber, the journalist tried to extract some small revenge by suggesting that Faithfull was “a singer with one good album”. If Faithfull sounded damaged – vocally, she did – the point was underlined.
