Marillion – Misplaced Childhood

The date in this time & space is May 2025. Bought this 2nd hand, this date. A very well-balanced audio experience and (still) fantastic quality ! 40 years (!!) on since release, I'm so thrilled and amazed by this pressing. I'm throwing away my 'cheap sounding' 1994 Cd rrrrrrightaway !

My copy has the gold promo stamp on cover, but beneath it is a different code: "B 360714".

I'm planning to buy this but can anyone please tell me how sound in this compares to original 1985 release? I have an original which sounds amazing to my ears and I'm a bit afraid a new remaster spoils it. Thanks!

Really good reissue. I believe it depends on the fine quality of the vinyl used, and about that Optimal Media didn't always have me satisfied. No crackling anywhere and very little internal distortion on my copy. Excellent soundstage.
Recommended.

Son au top sur la version française en DMM
Album très bon musicalement, indispensable

Why can't labels reproduce the cover art in the right hues, brightness, etc? The sky is meant to be BLUE not friggin' PURPLE!

Great mastering on this EMI100 release, to these ears it sounds better than the two different original pressings I also have. My go to pressing.

This is a great sounding cd very good dynamics!! Nice low end and soft but punchy bass very close to the uk lp press as on every edition second half sound a litlle brighter

reissued on band web site for £50 1000 copies if you want one

Is there a chance this could ever get a repress? Sigh...
