COLLECTOR NOTES 💎

Marbles is widely regarded as a landmark Hogarth-era Marillion album and a core title for modern progressive rock collectors.

This 2011 Madfish 180g 2LP issue offers an excellent-sounding heavy vinyl pressing together with a quality gatefold sleeve, making it one of the most attractive ways to own the album on vinyl.

Copies in genuinely Near Mint condition across both discs and sleeve are not common, so this is an ideal upgrade copy or collection copy for the buyer who cares about both presentation and playback quality.
