Description
Marillion - Misplaced Childhood. 1985 Capitol Records ST 12431. 1st pressing. Made in USA. Vinyl is in NM condition. Cover is in NM condition. It is opened but still in the original shrink wrap. Shrink wrap was cut off on the upper right corner (to apply the PROMO stamp) and that cutting left a scratch line on the cover. Spine is square and well centered.
There is a gold PROMO Stamp on the upper right front corner.
Still has the original Renes All Ears Records price sticker on the upper right front cover. Anyone who was in L.A. in the 1980s knows that Renes All Ears Records and Arons Records (they were nearly right next door to each other) on funky Melrose Avenue, were the greatest record stores in the area. Those who regularly sorted through their bins loved them dearly.
Review: After the album-tour-album cycle of Script for a Jester's Tear, Fugazi, and the subsequent Euro-only release of Real to Reel, Marillion retreated to Berlin's Hansa Ton Studios with Rolling Stones producer Chris Kimsey to work on their next opus. Armed with a handful of lyrics born out of a self-confessed acid trip, Fish came up with the elaborate concept for 1985's Misplaced Childhood. Touching upon his early childhood experiences and his inability to deal with a slew of bad breakups exacerbated by a never-ending series of rock star-type "indulgences," Misplaced Childhood would prove to be not only the band's most accomplished release to date, but also its most streamlined. Initial record company skepticism over the band's decision to forge ahead with a '70s-style prog rock opus split into two halves (sides one and two) quickly evaporated as Marillion delivered its two most commercial singles ever: "Kayleigh" and "Lavender." With its lush production and punchy mix, the album went on to become the band's greatest commercial triumph, especially in Europe where they would rise from theater attraction to bona fide stadium royalty. The subsequent U.S. success of "Kayleigh" would also see Marillion returning to the States for a difficult tour as Rush's support act. - The All Music Guide.
