GARDEN PARTY LIVE

This GARDEN PARTY EP serves the secondary purpose of a single quite well. I wouldn't think that record companies generally release live versions of music to be played by radio stations. However, this release gives fans of the band an alternative to the original songs from "Script for a Jester's Tear". There are a ton of live Marillion releases to choose from; these live versions don't seem to vary a whole lot from the studio versions. These are still very well played performances of some fantastic music. What an anachronistic 80's term "maxi-single" is BTW; I haven't been in a record store in years. Do people still buy singles?
