A lot of people have covered Lennon's great song; but this is the best cover AFAIK, and far better than her studio version. From the sadly-departed NYC soundstage show "Sessions at West 54th", and first aired on late at night on American PBS stations (with naughty word and all) early in 2000. Video found via ed2k and probably off of her DVD "Dreaming my Dreams".

I've said it before and I have to say it again, John Lennon wrote an excellent song in Working Class Hero but Marianne Faithful, along with her musicians have created a far superior version, I feel that John Lennon would agree with me on this one, don't get me wrong, I love the Lennon version, I just happen to like this version a whole lot more.

Takes me back to Leeds and their "faithful" supporters. Just don't ride the train from Kings Cross after a loss to Arsenal! Brilliant performance. Pace, Grace, and Space. . . just like a Jag!

Couldn't agree with you more. The lyrical genius of Lennon but with the frustrated/desperate tones of Marianne Faithful. Damn, she still sounds marvelous....looks great too. YOU GO GIRL!!!

Lennon is pure, the original but i listen to this version more often, it's more dramatic to me
