I will be happy to admit that a. I do not miss Fish’s voice – Peter Gabriel is my first love and ‘King of the Hill’ on this musical turf and that won’t ever change b. I did not expect a Japanese bootleg for Marillion. Bootleggers in Europe would release no shortage of titles, especially around 1985/6 when the band were at their peak in terms of popularity.
