Script For A Jester's Tear

Product Information

The band's 3rd album 'Misplaced Childhood' is, possibly, the most easily accessible of Marillion's early releases and is certainly worth checking out as well. It was produced by David Hitchcock, who was also contracted to work on the group's first full-length album. Considering the band at this time was labelled Prog Rock, there was none of the over-the-top improvisation that the genre is normally given.

Beautifully crafted debut album from one of the leading lights of the (relatively) short-lived progressive rock revival of the 1980s. It's an astonishingly confident debut destined never to be bettered, but thankfully now given a remastered new life, with extensive notes from all involved in the booklet plus earlier material and demos collected on disc two. There really isn't a bad moment as the warm, yet sparse, weave of the songs carries the early, mannered Vocals of Fish through his first Loves and Life experiences. This was Mick Pointers' only Album recording as he was eventually replaced by Ian Moseley for the second album Fugazi.Wenn man ein und dieselbe CD zwei mal hat, spricht das ziemlich eindeutig dafür, dass diese Musik gefällt. However, he was seriously injured in a car accident when he drove home after completing work on the single. Mi piacciono i Marillion con Fish, non sono un vecchietto, ma uno che è appassionato di genesis, yes pink floyd, led Zeppelin e tutta la musica Rock anni 67 70 80. Script for a Jester's Tear was released in the United Kingdom on 13 March 1983 by EMI on vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve.

said that "as a debut album this [ Script for a Jester's Tear] is extremely impressive, fully living up to the band's previous promise".The first single, " He Knows You Know", preceded the release of Script for a Jester's Tear and launched the group into the Top 40, reaching number 35. EMI took advantage of the opportunity and persuaded the group to replace him with Nick Tauber, a producer known for his work with new wave band Toyah and regarded by the record label as more modern. He Knows You Know" gained some airplay in the United States and reached number 21 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart.

Neither "Market Square Heroes", nor the B-sides of the 12" single, "Three Boats Down from the Candy" and the 17-minute-long epic "Grendel", were included on Script for a Jester's Tear, although a short radio segment of the A-side can be briefly heard prior to "Forgotten Sons".Discs Three and Four feature the previously unreleased show from the Marquee Club, London on the 29th December 1982. In addition to that, the Blu-ray also includes the previously released Recital of the Script video and, as extras, promo films of some tracks from the album.
