A SINGLES COLLECTION - SIX OF ONE, HALF A DOZEN OF THE OTHER

A Singles Collection was a compilation of Marillion's greatest hits from both the Fish era and the first two albums of the Hogarth era, six from each era (thus the appropriate subtitle). It also included two bonus tracks which were not released on the original Holidays in Eden album (but available later on the 2-CD remastered version). It included 1992 remixes of Assassing and Garden Party. Because it contains mostly radio hits, it lacks most of the really good progressive material from the band's first two albums. The 1992 remixes are really not worth the effort to seek this one out, nor are the bonus tracks since they didn't even make the final version of what was one of the worst released by Marillion. Two stars, for collectors and completionists only.
