Singer Derek Dick (aka Fish), guitarist Steve Rothery, keyboardist Mark Kelly, bassist Pete Trewavas and percussionist Ian Mosley recorded Misplaced Childhood at Hansa Tonstudio in Berlin, Germany during the spring of 1985. A concept record with two continuous pieces of music, the song cycle explored themes of lost love, lost childhood, and more. Released in June 1985, it was an immediate success, topping the U.K. album chart and earning platinum status. The album included three big hits: "Kayleigh" (#2), "Lavender" (#5), and "Heart of Lothian" (#29).
The vinyl version of Misplaced Childhood (Deluxe Edition) features the 2017 remastered version of the original album and the entire concert from Holland. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl, the four LPs are presented in a 12" x 12" lift-top box, completing the set is a beautiful 24-page booklet which contains replica tour program and extensive writing on the history of the album and how it came to be.
