(1986)"The Margin" is a live album by
Peter Hammill , documenting early 80s concerts by his K Group (consisting of Hammill,Nic Potter ,Guy Evans and John Ellis). The album was originally released as adouble album on Foundry Records in 1985. It was reissued some years later on CD onVirgin Records , with some tracks missing in order to make it fit onto a single CD. Hammill then reissued it again on his own Fie! record label, as "The Margin +". This issue did not restore the tracks lost from the original vinyl release, but included an additional disc of material previously released as a live bootleg called "The Secret Asteroid Jungle".The album cover is a stark black and white photograph of Hammill by the noted Dutch photographer
Anton Corbijn . It has become an iconic image of Hammill, often used for live posters and other promotional material.Track listing
