Marillion - Clutching At Straws

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON EMI 1987

EMI 1C 064-24 0785 made in Germany with lyric inner sleeve.

Vinyl VG. Cover VG+.

Written and conceived during a period of inner-band turmoil, Clutching at Straws would prove to be Fish's swan song, and perhaps Marillion's most unheralded masterpiece. Teaming up once again with producer Chris Kimsey, Clutching at Straws showcases some of the band's most satisfying compositions, including the magnificent "Warm Wet Circles" and "That Time of the Night (The Short Straw)." Bookended by Fish's disgust with not only himself, "Torch Song," but also with the burgeoning neo-Nazi uprising in Europe, "White Russian," the great Scot delivers an inspired condemnation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marillion
