About this deal
said that "as a debut album this [ Script for a Jester's Tear] is extremely impressive, fully living up to the band's previous promise". There really isn't a bad moment as the warm, yet sparse, weave of the songs carries the early, mannered Vocals of Fish through his first Loves and Life experiences. Singer Fish plays the role of misunderstood poet to perfection, his bedsit anguish memorably realised by sleeve artist Mark Wilkinson. The remastered version was also issued without the second disc in 2000 and contained a pared-down booklet.
Allerdings muss man sagen, dass man "Script for a jester's tear" nicht einfach "nebenbei" hören kann. However, he was seriously injured in a car accident when he drove home after completing work on the single.As stated in the original liner notes, the music from the album was composed, arranged and performed by Marillion and the lyrics were written by Fish alone.
This was Mick Pointers' only Album recording as he was eventually replaced by Ian Moseley for the second album Fugazi.Neither "Market Square Heroes", nor the B-sides of the 12" single, "Three Boats Down from the Candy" and the 17-minute-long epic "Grendel", were included on Script for a Jester's Tear, although a short radio segment of the A-side can be briefly heard prior to "Forgotten Sons". One of my favourite albums the genius of Fishes lyrics and the guitarist Steve Rothery talent combined to make some fantastic songs.
