"This 12CD box set ( 5" x 5" x 1.2" flip-top) is a fantastic compilation and a celebration of Marillion's singles from the "Fish" years 1982-1988; each CD comes in original individual flat card picture sleeve, and it is a picture CD which reproduce the original artwork cover. There are 45 tracks including many rare & deleted songs; also 7" and 12" versions many of them available on CD for the first time. The number 12 CD features 4 live tracks from the "Thieving Magpie" 1988 live double album.....But, there are only slightly problem: it does not have a booklet, just only 12CD singles.TRACK LIST:CD1: 1.

"I've checked out this item at my local record store for you: The discs are wrapped in thin cardboard covers, featuring the original cover artwork plus digital remastering, obviously. All this is packaged in a sort of black cigarette-case. The front side shows a silver print of the jester, holding a mask in front of his face. OK, there's nothing wrong with the music itself, yet I think it's strange to listen to CD-singles of a band whose albums always have been definite artistic statements. And with the exception of a few live cuts and alternative versions, there's nothing here you cannot find elsewhere on these recently released double-disc sets of all Marillion albums. There's actually no point in shelling out the cash for numerous 'radio edits' or 'seven inch mixes', since the full-length versions can be found on the aforementioned albums, and are certainly superior to the edits. Even much sought-after singles b-sides like "Freaks" or "Tux on" are available on these double-disc sets. In my opinion, the band has missed the chance to come up with really previously unreleased material. Besides, there's a lack of liner notes and other information. All in all, a nice birthday gift for Marillion fans, even if it's vaguely unsatisfying."

I want to be burried with this box set!

"What an amazing treat EMI has blessed us with! Be sure to give thanks to the gods of prog rock when you go to bed tonight. Nothing short of brilliant. The music kicks...the remastering is superb and the packaging is beautiful! All hail Marillion!"
