The Long Black Veil

The Long Black Veil

Covered by Marianne Faithfull on the CD "Rich Kids Blues", which I own in a 1998 version on Diablo Records UK, catalog, DIAB 861, but which was apparently previously released in 1984, according to Amazon:http://www.amazon.com/Rich-Kid-Blues-Marianne-Faithfull/dp/B000009NQ4. In fact, for a different release version of this CD, Amazon suggests an original release date of 1971: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000069002/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=304485…

The CD version I own contains an insert with notes from 1998 by Alan Robinson. In his notes, Robinson speculates about when the material was recorded, which he puts as early 1971, but mentions no prior release of the material on the CD. The CD, itself, however, gives a phonoright date of 1984, which is consistent with an original 1984 release date. Several websites put the original release date as 1984 or 1985.
