Details: Loveinamist, Mariannes second pop LP for Decca and last album of the 60s has been remastered from the original tapes and receives it's first ever vinyl repress on a 180gm by the Grammy nominated Andrew Batt who also provides detailed sleevenotes which Marianne contributed to before her passing in January 2025. Released in March 1967, Loveinamist was a hybrid comprised of earlier hit singles Yesterday and This Little Bird alongside tracks released on her US only album Faithfull Forever 7 months earlier and new recordings in the folk-pop style that defined her signature sound. The album features a clutch of impressive interpretations from the songwriters that suited her best, including a string laden Counting by Bob Lind, a stoic Reason To Believe by Tim Hardin, gorgeous folk-pop ballad With You In Mind by Jackie DeShannon, and the baroque psychedelia of Donovans In The Night Time. There was something in Donovans words music and ideas that seemed to sit particularly well with Mariannes interpretive gifts and another of his compositions Young Girl Blues is given a powerful treatment distinctly at odds with the rest of the albums folky romanticism. Loveinamist also reflects Mariannes penchant for French music with beautiful versions of Ne Me Quitte Pas from the 1964 musical Les Parapluies de Cherbourg and Coquillages, Mariannes own French translation of Cockleshells, which originally appeared on North Country Maid. Although it would be almost a decade before she released another album, Loveinamist represented a new phase of creative accomplishment for Marianne, and includes some of her strongest pop performances of the 60s
