LINER NOTES

Conversation on a Barstool: Written by Bono. Vocals by Marianne Faithfull. Bass: Fernando Saunders. Guitar: Bill Frisell. Produced by Hal Wilner and Fernando Saunders. Recorded February, 1998 by Joe Ferla at RPM Studios, New York.

OTHER NOTES

Bono and the Edge wrote "Conversation on a Barstool" specifically for Marianne Faithfull although this release only lists Bono as the writer. Although Faithfull had performed it live in concert throughout the 1990s, she had never released a studio version of the song until this 1998 compilation. Both Hazel O'Connor and Annie Ross had recorded this song before this release of Marianne Faithfull's. This version by Faithfull is a gorgeous recording of the song.

This retrospective of Faithfull's career was released to coincide with Island Records' 40th Anniversary. And this particular recording would see the inclusion of Bill Frisell on guitar and Hal Wilner producing, both names who would turn up again on the Million Dollar Hotel soundtrack as part of the Million Dollar Hotel band.
