MARILLION Vinyl & CDs

Review: Being the album that contained the kings of second wave 80s progressive rock's breakthrough single 'Kayleigh', this, their third studio album, divided hardcore fans but opened the Aylesbury band up to the kind of mainstream acceptance that's seen them able to carry on well into the 21st century. Not to mention rack up 15 million in album sales. This deluxe edition is truly deluxe, with a remastered version of the album itself, undoubtedly more immediately palatable and less obviously 'prog' than its predecessors but still noticably Marillion in flavour, plus a Live In Utrecht bonus LP and a disc of bonus mixes, B-sides and rarities. The blu ray disc, meanwhile, contains more goodies including a documentary and a 5.1 mix of Misplaced Childhood. Plenty to keep even the more 'Kayleigh'-phobic purists happy, we'd wager.
