  Happiness Is The Road Limited edition Vinyl albums available to Pre-order now

  Whilst the band are still out doing some very successful Less Is More shows, we have been busy down here at The Racket Club.

  With only 6 weeks until Christmas we are pleased to announce the release of the Happiness is the Road albums on limited edition vinyl.  Each one is a double album and has been cut to 180gram black Vinyl at 45rpm in an effort to keep the quality as high as possible.  For full ordering details please go to: http://www.marillion.com/music/albums/hitrvinyl.htm

  Throughout the shop we have reduced the prices on many items - just in time for your Christmas shopping.  Remember it's getting cold so we have a few fleeces, hats and jackets to keep you warm and a few great cut price t-shirts for our fans that are still basking in the sunshine! (not jealous).

  Racket Records places "Ordering Deadlines" on orders in early December.
  These Ordering Deadlines can be found at: http://www.marillion.com/help/orderinfo.htm#xmas

  The band are back from Europe this week and have a few days off before heading back out for the final leg of the Less Is More tour.  All dates are sold out except for Dublin which still had a few tickets left. 

  We'll get the band to send you an update soon but remember you can follow Mark Kelly on Twitter and enjoy his on the road tweets! @markke11y

  Message from Pete, Steve and H

  NEW TRANSATLANTIC ALBUM.

  We have just received the new Transatlantic Album "The Whirlwind" here at Racket Records and it looks and sounds amazing.

  Any Transatlantic fans or Marillion fans for that matter who would like to hear what I got up to in Nashville after the Canadian convention can order any of the 3 versions direct from Racket Records. I think you'll like it.

  http://www.marillion.com/music/solo/ta-whirlwind.htm

  The 2 CD special edition & Box set feature the song "Lending A Hand" that I wrote, arranged and sang lead vocals on for the project.

  The Deluxe edition also has the making of DVD with lots of footage of me and the guys actually being filmed while recording and generally misbehaving in the studio.

  It was a lot of fun.

  Pete

  WISHING TREE AT BUSH HALL

  Here's the latest news with regards to the Wishing Tree concert at Bush Hall in London on the 20th December.

  We've decided to make it a combined Wishing tree concert and my 50th birthday party! I'll also be playing a few cover versions of some of my favourite songs and hopefully have a few special guests as well.

  It should be a fun evening! Hope you can make it.

  There are a few tickets left at www.wegottickets.com

  A WORD FROM MR H.

  Oslo. What can I say? It started out like any other L=M gig but at some point in the second set, the audience just ran off with it. I felt like I was riding a horse in a horse-race which suddenly turned left and ran off the track, down the road an...d through town!

  The band tried to keep up with the crowd and more than one unrehearsed song had to be er.. performed. This extended the show somewhat as you'll hear..

  Quite a night, and definitely the best vibe we've had in Oslo to date. I think we're finally getting to know each other..

  H

  MESSAGE FROM RACKET RECORDS

  A download of the Oslo show (along with the rest of the first leg of the tour) is now up for sale at www.marillion.com/tour

  Over the coming days and weeks, (in time for your Christmas shopping!), we will be dropping prices throughout the Racket Records store and also offering very special offers on t-shirt bundles, DVD bundles and much more.

  Come and visit the site often for updates.

  For those of you waiting to hear about the Happiness Is The Road limited edition vinyl release - well we should have some more news for you on this next week.

  A final reminder about the FREE fan club DVD.

  You may have seen communications from us in the past where we talk about 'Web Members' as each fan club is called 'The Web'. Every year each fan club gives their members a free CD which comes directly from the band. A list of previous fan club CD's can be found here to give you an idea of the kind of stuff we do http://www.marillion.com/web/xmas.htm

  This year we are pleased to announce that for the first time we will be giving Web members a free DVD! This will be a DVD of the Cologne Happiness Is The Road Tour concert in 2008 - we're calling it 'Snow De Cologne'. Full track listing details will follow soon. So make sure that your membership is up to date or join before November 10th to guarantee yourself one.

  For your local fan club please look here http://www.marillion.com/web/index.htm

  Marillion back from Oslo

  We just got back from Oslo - here's a message from Steve Hogarth.

  Hello from Mark Kelly

  Hello from the road!.

  On Saturday we played the last show of the first leg of the L=M tour at the Gasometer (it really used to be a gas storage facility) in Oberhausen, Germany.
  Overall, the gigs have been great fun and really well received. I a bit surprised how well the acoustic stuff has been going down as it's not really like a normal Marillion show. Many people have commented to me that the album is great to introduce Marillion newbies to the band, as it's very accessible for first time listeners. So you know what to get your non Marillion friends for Xmas now! Thank you to everyone who's come to see us so far and made the last 2 weeks great fun. We're looking forward to a few days at home next week and then Oslo at the weekend.

  If you can't join us on the tour, we are making many shows available for download at http://www.marillion.com/shop/music/acoustic.htm

  You can also follow my daily (if not always sensible) updates and snapshots on Twitter. my twitter name is markke11y

  See you soon

  Mark
