We have another new member of the Album Club this week, and so the chosen album is from Bev (Ninanina)
My choice is Marillion - Script For A Jester's Tear (1983)
Album is also here on Grooveshark
The album was released way back in 1983, now that really shows my age!. This was the very first group I saw live, I can't remember the venue but somewhere in Ipswich, Suffolk
I was amazed and taken aback when I saw them live, I thought it was the most magical thing I'd ever seen, Fish even launched himself into the crowd to be caught.. I was hooked!
So it has always been a precious memory for me, like the first of anything it's special I guess.
One of the tracks, "Garden Party", I was convinced was written just for me as it had the lines: "On the lawns by still Cam waters" and "Punting On The Cam" and at the time I was living and working in Cambridge, so it just seemed to click
I love most of Marillion's cd's but this one has the most wonderful memories for me
