Label GB

Demon is a UK 80s New Wave label that was founded by Elvis Costello, Andrew Lauder, and the company behind the label in 1980. In 1998, the label was acquired by Music Collection International and merged with its Westside Records operation. Today, Demon forms part of the Demon Music Group Ltd.

Award winning English singer, songwriter and actress Marianne Faithfull has had a remarkable career spanning over six decades. Born on 29th December 1946 in Hampstead, London, England, she is known for her unique voice and powerful performances.
During the late 1960s, Marianne gained significant attention not only for her talent but also for her highly-publicized romantic relationship with Mick Jagger, the lead singer of the Rolling Stones. This period further solidified her status as an iconic figure in the music industry.
With numerous accolades to her name and a diverse discography that showcases her versatility as an artist, Marianne Faithfull continues to captivate audiences worldwide with her timeless music and captivating stage presence.

Produced by Mike Leander, who had produced and arranged much of Faithfull's Decca material, Rich Kid Blues is an intriguing album of spare, largely acoustic readings of folk / rock songs, including several Bob Dylan covers, as well as songs by Phil Ochs, George Harrison, Cat Stevens, Tim Hardin, James Taylor and Sandy Denny. Marianne Faithfull had this to say about the 1971 recordings: “The record itself is very strange and ghostly. It’s the voice of somebody incredibly high, probably on the edge of death. They always sound like that. Johnny Thunders sounds like that. Anybody who heard that record would have said, ‘Well that’s that. We’ll never hear from her again’.”
