In 2008, EMI released ‘Early Years’, Marillion’s Official Bootleg Box Set 1982-1987, a six disc set of previously unreleased live recordings featuring the band’s original frontman and vocalist, Fish. In 1988, following the band’s fourth opus, ‘Clutching At Straws’, Fish departed to follow a career as a solo artist, leaving the core band members of guitarist Steve Rothery, bassist Pete Trewavas, Mark Kelly on keyboards and drummer Ian Mosley, to seek a new singer and front man. They settled on former Europeans vocalist Steve Hogarth in 1989, releasing ‘Season’s End’ that year, and continuing to write and release new product with the same line-up to this day.

This second, companion volume, features a total of four entire concerts and two radio sessions across its eight discs. Kicking off with their April 1990 set at Leicester’s De Monfort Hall, this gig is a mixture of tracks from the then current album ‘Season’s End’, along side Marillion classics and fan favourites such as ‘Kayleigh’, ‘Lavender’ and debut single, ‘Market Square Heroes’.
