Marillion / Script For A Jester's Tear deluxe 4CD+blu-ray repress

Script For A Jester's Tear 4CD+blu-ray

Limited repress of 2020 deluxe edition

Issued in March 1983, Script For A Jester’s Tear was a top ten album in the UK and featured two top 40 singles: ‘He Knows You Know’ (#35) and ‘Garden Party’ (#16). The studio album had been preceded by the ‘Market Square Heroes’ single in late 1982. None of the three tracks on the 12-inch of that made release it onto the album and producer David Hitchcock ended up being replaced by Nick Tauber, after being badly injured in a car accident.

The four CD + blu-ray edition offers:

CD1 - Newly remixed stereo versions (by Andy Bradfield and Avril Mackintosh) of both the album

CD 2 - Newly remixed stereo versions of the ‘Market Square Heroes’ EP. ‘He Knows You Know’ B-side ‘Charting the Single’ is also included on CD 2 in remixed form.

CD 3 - An unreleased live performance of Marillion at London’s Marquee Club (from 29 December 1982)

CD 4 - An unreleased live performance of Marillion at London’s Marquee Club (from 29 December 1982)

Blu-ray - 5.1 mix and stereo remix of the album, plus ALL of the audio on the CDs in hi-res, including the live concert and a documentary with band interviews – that covers the 1979 formation of Marillion in Aylesbury through the release of Script for a Jester’s Tear in 1983.
