Misplaced Childhood is the album that got me into prog. And Straws is pretty damn sweet as well!
So I've got: Seasons End, Marbles (2CD), Clutching at Straws, STCBM, Misplaced Childhood - all en route. Should have them all by the end of next week.
Damn. there's a 4 pack 'box' on Amazon I could have got for less than buying some of these individually.. gahIt was Misplaced Childhood, Clutching at Straws, Seasons End and Holidays in Eden for like 17.50 on amazon. I think I ended up paying close to $23 (and two of them used).. I hate it when I find better deals later.

Definitely go for the 2-disc versions, especially "Clutching at Straws", which has the demos for their next, aborted, album. The 2-disc of "Seasons End" is long out-of-print though, so good luck tracking that down!
Quote from: jammindude on July 04, 2013, 05:39:12 PMI waited almost 9 years to pick up Marbles....at first I couldn't find it, then I just refused to buy half a product. Just a few months ago, I saw the Madfish version at a local CD shop. It was worth every minute, and every penny. Ocean Cloud is the best Marillion song I've ever heard.Ocean Cloud is my favorite Marillion song as well. Seeing it live last year was such an incredible experience. I was in shock when they started playing it as I never thought I'd ever get to hear it live.

Those demos depress the crap out of me to this day. I've been okay with the split since about the time This Strange Engine came out, but listening to those demos still gives me the raw feeling of being stabbed in the heart. I guess that's why I don't listen to those demos much. Even listening to Kevin Gilbert doesn't affect me the way those demos do.
I think he means they showed a lot of promise.
H is awesome. He's one of my favorite singers.
I actually recently found a copy of Season's End of vinyl. But afa the remaster, it may be common knowledge amongst the hardcores, but Lucy Jordache I'm sure would be willing to answer that question. Maybeit was due to lack of sales. I'm not sure how many of those remasters from the late 90's are still in print.
Never could get into the post-Fish era. But the live version of Misplaced Childhood on the double-live La Gazza Ladra is spectacular.
