The song “Afraid Of Sunlight” is one of the greatest of all-time. Always gives me chills. And I got to hear it done live on the Cruise To The Edge 2017.

I haven't heard the Ahoy show in a long time, but as I recall significant parts of the Made Again live album were played too fast for my taste. I wonder how the band managed to find a new source for the inclusion of "Garden Party".
Also, many of the writing samples included as bonus tracks on the Blu-ray are apparently different than those compiled on the previously released ReFracted album... not sure at this point if these are truly different recordings or have merely been re-titled for this new release.

Before we head straight into rehearsals for our November/December UK and Europe "Marillion with Friends From The Orchestra" tour, we thought we'd let you know about the latest release from Warner Music.

As you may know, Warner Music are in the process of releasing the 8 studio albums from our EMI days in Deluxe Editions.
They have already released Misplaced Childhood, Brave and Clutching at Straws and now we’re very pleased to announce Afraid of Sunlight has been given the same treatment.
The Afraid of Sunlight Deluxe Editions are a 4CD/Blu-ray set and a five-LP box.
Both collections open with a new version of Afraid of Sunlight that was remixed earlier this year by the wonderful Michael Hunter. The CD/Blu-ray set also includes the original mix by the album's original producer Dave Meegan.
Both sets also have a live recording of Marillion performing at the Rotterdam Ahoy Arena on September 29, 1995 during the tour supporting Afraid of Sunlight. Six of the songs were originally released in 1996 on the double live album Made Again.
The Blu-ray features several versions of Michael Hunter's new mix (48/24 LPCM Stereo; 48/24 DTS 5.1; 48/24 LPCM 5.1).
Video content includes a new documentary about Afraid of Sunlight featuring interviews with the whole band and the promo film for "Beautiful".
The Blu-ray disc also collects the nine bonus recordings from the remastered edition of the album that was released in 1999, plus 17 previously unreleased songs that include studio jams and early versions of Afraid of Sunlight tracks like "Beyond You", "King", "Out Of This World" and "Beautiful".
It is available to pre-order now and we will be hand signing a special A4 sized print for anyone who orders from us (limited to the first 4000 orders).
Release date is November 1st 2019.

Well, ‘Afraid of Sunlight’ is another thing because, the masters for ‘Afraid of Sunlight’ were lost. They got put in a skip when the studio where we mixed it – Bar Street in Liverpool – kind of went out of business. So when we came to look at the process of remixing, remastering, the 5.1 and all of that, the source material didn’t exist. Our genius producer Michael Hunter went in the loft in our own recording studio and started digging out all the original DAT tapes that the initial recordings had gone on, and trawling through them to try and find out which takes had been used, and he physically recreated the album from basically shit off the floor. So it’s nothing short of a miracle that he managed to do that.
