Marillion Album Script For Jester's Tears (1983)

Musik dari Band Marillion yang diproduksi tahun 1980 - 1985, mengokohkan eksistensi Marillion di genre progressive masa masa Genesis era Peter Gabriel.

Vocalis “asli” Marillion, Fish sering diidentikan dengan Lead Vocal “asli” Genesis, bahkan beberapa kritikus dan pengamat musik membayangkan, seandainya saja Fish menggantikan sebagai Lead Vocal Genesis setelah keluarnya Peter Gabriel, maka Genesis akan tetap kokoh di jalur progressive rock dan tidak di bawa kemana mana sebagaimana dilakukan oleh Phil Collins.

Marillion pada masa masa awal sangat terpengaruh oleh :

i. King Crimson: Permainan keyboard pada lagu "He Knows You Know"(Marillion) sangat mirip dengan meoldy "Frame By Frame"(KC)
.
ii. Yes: Pada lalgu "Script For A Jester's Tear"(Marillion) memasukkan bagian dari , "I'm losing on the roundabout".(Yes)

iii. Jethro Tull: Fish belakangan merekam solo album diberi judul Songs From The Mirror.
iv. Genesis: Marillion memainkan lagu Genesis "I Know What I Like" pada awal karirnya; Fish memang sering berkolaborasi dengan Tony Banks pemain keyboard Genesis.

Script for a Jester's Tear is the first album by the neo-progressive rock band Marillion, released in 1983. It reached number seven on the UK album chart and stayed on the chart for 31 weeks, the second longest chart residency of a Marillion album.

The single released before the album was "Market Square Heroes", with the double B-sides "Three Boats Down from the Candy" and the 17 minute epic "Grendel".

"He Knows You Know" and "Garden Party" were also released as singles, and became Top 40 hits in the UK.

This is the only Marillion album to feature Mick Pointer, the founding and current drummer for Arena.
