Kurt Weill's "Seven Deadly Sins" - and several bonuses.

I appear to have acquired an annoying Amazon habit. 

However that may be, it meant that a few days back I impulse bought a copy of Kurt Weill's The Seven Deadly Sins sung by Marianne Faithfull (they really make it too easy to do that kind of thing). 

Really quite wonderful, and another reminder that classical opera singers tend not be so good at this more Music Theatre-y stuff.  

Of course, what I didn't notice in my hurry was that the CD had several other tracks on it, including The Ballad of Sexual Dependency, Pirate Jenny and Bilbao Song all sung by Faithfull.

And all fantastic.  Lucky me!
