“Childhood” Found: Classic Marillion Album Expanded and Remixed for July

May 8, 2017 By Mike Duquette 2 Comments

BUY NOW ON AMAZON.COM

Prog rock fans and Steven Wilson remix enthusiasts have another date to mark on their calendars: July 21, the release date for a greatly expanded edition of Marillion’s classic Misplaced Childhood.

Released in June of 1985, Misplaced Childhood became the most successful release in the neo-prog quintet’s ongoing career, topping the U.K. charts and staying in those charts for 41 weeks. Featuring semi-autobiographical lyrics from lead singer Fish that touched on love, loss and acceptance (admittedly aided by a 10-hour acid trip that birthed the concept), Marillion’s mix of personal and familiar led to some of their best-received work, including the U.K. Top 5 hits “Kayleigh” and “Lavender.”

The 4CD/Blu-ray box set version of Misplaced Childhood features the original remastered album (from the original analog 1/2″ tape), a bonus disc of demos and B-sides (previously released in a 2CD edition in 1998 and expanded with a new stereo remix by Wilson of B-side “Lady Nina” in addition to the original) and two discs of an October 1985 live show in Utrecht, The Netherlands which featured a full performance of the album and more. The Blu-ray is packed with bonus features, including music videos, a new documentary featuring members of the band (including Fish, who left in 1988 after struggles with the band’s management) and producer Chris Kimsey, and a new 5.1 surround mix by Wilson of the full album and “Lady Nina.” It’s all packed in a casebound book package with 60 pages of photos and liner notes by writer Dave Everley.

Additionally, a vinyl box set will include the remastered album and live concert across four LPs in total, packed in a 12″ lidded box and featuring a full-size 24-page booklet with liner notes and a replica of the band’s original tour program from the Childhood era.

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his intended profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small, from vintage soul to stirring film scores. His passion for reissues turned into a profession in 2014 with co-producing credits on two best-selling vinyl singles for Sony's Legacy Recordings: a 30th anniversary "ecto-green" pressing of Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters" and a celebratory pressing of Wham!'s "Last Christmas" on red and green vinyl. Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of box sets and vinyl.

    Who did the stereo 96/24 remaster? I hope & assume it’s the same dreadful master they used for the 2 disc set.

    This was also an early digital recording. Most early digital was 44/16 (or worse in some cases). I’m curious who that fits with the 96/24?

    I left the word “not” out above. It should have read, “I hope & assume it’s NOT the same dreadful master they used for the 2 disc set.”
