Marianne Faithfull, Cast Your Fate to the Wind: The Complete UK Decca Recordings

Reissued for the first time in this six-CD box set are the British singer’s original Decca albums, along with a double LP of singles, B-sides, and rarities from the era.

With over 115,000 fans attending Lollapalooza each day of the four-day festival, it can be a massive cluster navigating the expansive festival grounds at Grant Park in Chicago.
