Incommunicado, Marillion - 7'' Single

Marillion - Incommunicado (Australian Picture Sleeve)

Artist: Marillion Title: Incommunicado / Going Under Format: 7 inch Vinyl Single Original Release: May 1987 Label: EMI (Catalog: EMI 1953) Genre: Neo-Progressive Rock

The Deep Dive Details:

• The Australian Catalog Number: While the UK version uses the code MARIL 6, the genuine Australian pressing is identified by the catalog number EMI 1953. This is the key buy trigger for your listing.

• The Picture Sleeve Rarity: The Australian release features the full-colour picture sleeve designed by Mark Wilkinson. Check for the EMI Records Australia print on the back. It should say: Manufactured and Distributed by EMI Music Group of Companies, Sydney, Australia.

• The Going Under B-Side: This is the short, introspective version. It is highly prized because it serves as the perfect contrast to the anthemic A-side.

• Matrix and Runout Info: Look for EMI-1953-A and EMI-1953-B hand-etched. These were mastered locally at EMI Studios 301 in Sydney. Australian EMI pressings from the late 80s are known for having a heavier bass response than the UK versions.

• Vinyl Texture: The Australian EMI 1953 is typically solid black, high-grade vinyl. The labels are standard red and black EMI paper labels, not the plastic injection labels found in the UK.
