MARILLION'S HIGHLY ACCLAIMED THIRTEENTH STUDIO ALBUM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FULL ON VINYL AND WITH NEW ARTWORK
"One of their very best records" Classic Rock
Marillion formed in 1979 and have sold over 15 million albums worldwide. Rightly regarded as legends of progressive rock, the band have also continued to evolve and have been keen to embrace the possibilities of the internet, using innovative ways to interact with listeners resulting in an incredibly loyal legion of fans around the world.
Marbles was originally released on the band’s own Racket Records label and attracted a lot of attention when it was released as the album had been funded by donations from fans who had pre-ordered the album before they started recording in return for having their name printed within the album artwork (over 18,000 names). The exposure that the band got with this (at the time unheard of) approach helped propel You’re Gone, the first single from the album, into the top 10 of the UK charts while second single, Don’t Hurt Yourself, also charted at #16.
This edition of Marbles will be released for the first time on vinyl as a 3LP box set with all of the original tracks that featured on the 2004 2CD release - an addition of four tracks not previously available on the 2LP. The front cover has also been updated for this box set, with Carl Glover giving the original artwork an eerie and supernatural twist; the first in a series of transformations applied throughout the accompanying artwork in the box set's 8-page booklet.
