THE THIEVING MAGPIE - LA GAZZA LADRA

Where Real to Reel suffered from sounding a bit slick, La Gazza Ladra suffers from some of the songs being poorly mixed. Where it does work is the song selection as it works as 'best of' up to that time and does contain Misplaced Childhood in its entirety on the cd version (the old vinyl version just had up to Heart of Lothian). It does bring a couple of songs to life though and White Russian is particulary good. Marillion have done better sounding live albums since, unfortunately without such consistant selection of songs.
