Fugazi is the second studio album of the neo-progressive rock band Marillion. It was released in 1984 and was the first album with Ian Mosley on drums. It reached no. 5 on the UK album charts, stayed on the chart for a total of 20 weeks and contained the UK top 40 singles "Punch And Judy" (no. 29) and "Assassing" (no. 22).^[3]

A 2-CD remastered version with additional B-sides and demos was released in 1998.

The album is so titled because it was produced under difficult circumstances, with the band employing and ejecting a number of drummers in quick succession following the departure of Mick Pointer, before finally settling on Mosley.

Formats and re-issues

The album was originally released on cassette, vinyl LP and 12" Picture Disc. The album was released on CD sometime afterwards. In 1998, as part of a series of Marillion's first eight studio albums, EMI re-released Fugazi with remastered sound and a second disc containing bonus material, listed above. The remastered edition was later also made available without the bonus disc.

A new 180-gram vinyl pressing was released in February 2012 by EMI. It was identical to the original vinyl release from 1984.

Trivia

The 1984 re-recorded version of "Market Square Heroes" that was released on the reverse of the "Punch and Judy" single appears instead on the re-mastered edition of Script for a Jester's Tear as "Market Square Heroes (Alternative Version)."
The line "What do you call assassins, who accuse assassins anyway, my friend?", from the end of "Assassing" is quoted verbatim in the PC game Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2.
