MARILLION – Misplaced Childhood [Deluxe Edition remastered 2017]
MARILLION‘s classic masterwork 1985 studio album “Misplaced Childhood“, which features the hits Kayleigh and Lavender, has been reissued in a luxury Deluxe Edition including a five-disc set freshly remastered 2017.
The 4CD+Blu-ray package features a newly remastered edition of the album, a concert from Holland across two CDs (including “Misplaced Childhood” performed in its entirety) and a fourth disc of demos and rarities “remastered exclusively for this set”.
The October 1985 concert was recorded Live at the Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in the city of Utrecht. It’s all previously unreleased except for the track ‘Chelsea Monday’ which was the B-side to third single, ‘Heart Of Lothian’.
In addition, to the surround sound version of the album handled by producer, musician and surround maestro Steven Wilson (hi-res 96kHz 24 bit on Blu-ray), Kayleigh B-side ‘Lady Nina’ has also been mixed to 5.1 and there’s also a new stereo remix of that track as well (this also features on CD 4 along with the original mix of ‘Lady Nina’).
The entire five-disc Deluxe Edition is presented in a case-bound ‘bookset’ that includes a 60-page booklet with sleeve notes written by Dave Everley.
Marillion’s “Misplaced Childhood” went on to become the band’s greatest commercial triumph, and for many their finest moment.
This 2017 remaster sounds fabulous, lush and punchy, and apart from the very good live concert (including “Misplaced Childhood” performed in its entirety) of special interest there’s the extra disc of rarities with a terrific sound as well.
