Rich Kid Blues is a studio album by British singer Marianne Faithfull, recorded in 1971 under the title Masques and first released in 1985 The album was produced by Mike Leander, who had worked with Faithfull in the 1960s. Leander hoped to place the album with Bell Records but, despite some initial positive feedback, Bell rejected the record after it was completed. The 12 songs were cut at these 1971 sessions and, after the success of her 1979 Broken English album, was first released in 1985 on the Castle Communications compilation album Rich Kid Blues, which added most of the material from her 1978 album Faithless. Background to the album is provided on the Faithfull Forever website.
Marianne Evelyn Gabriel Faithfull (born 29 December 1946) is an English singer and actress. She achieved popularity in the 1960s with the release of her hit single "As Tears Go By" and became one of the lead female artists during the British Invasion in the United States. Noted for her distinctive voice, Faithfull's previously melodic and higher-registered vocals (which were prevalent throughout her career in the 1960s) were affected by severe laryngitis, coupled with persistent drug abuse during the 1970s, permanently altering her voice, leaving it raspy, cracked and lower in pitch. This new sound was praised as "whisky soaked" by some critics and seen as having helped to capture the raw emotions expressed in Faithfull's music
