Review
Marillion had a big UK following but very little success in the United States. The critics considered them too close to "Genesis". The music was complex, layered and certainly progressive. This disc has a track "Garden Party" from the first US release and a strange live version of the old Scottish High Road - Low Road song. The albums had great cover art.
Note: Shaped picture disc singles first appeared in US record stores in the early 1980's, usually in limited quantity. We have found that many different ones were made. We welcome more information about these interesting collectibles.
