Marillion formed in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England in 1979. They have been recording consistently since 1982 and are known for their distinct eras led by two vocalists. The original vocalist, Fish, guided the band during their most popular period both critically and commercially. After Fish's departure in 1989, Steve Hogarth, formerly of Europeans, took over as the new vocalist. The band's different styles between the two vocalists have often divided fans.

Parlophone is an anglicization of the German [l=Parlophon] label, registered as a trademark in 1902 by Max Straus and Heinrich Zuntz of [b]Salon Kinematograph Co. GmbH[/b], later merged into [l=Carl Lindström A.-G.]. The first Parlophon records are pressed in 1910.

These companies were subsequently taken over by [l97841] in 1927, following its acquisition of [l275192] in 1926, thus becoming a constituent part of [l293204] (EMI) when that company merged with [l253617] in 1931.

The label largely operated as a Jazz and Novelty label until manager, [a=George Martin], signed the [a=The Beatles] in 1962.
