Sorry to be a pick, but for Anorak, Marillion apparently had several deals on the table to make a new LP. However, Marillion being old and unfashionable, and record companies being corporate scum, none were particularly favourable.
The pre-order thing was an idea to take the need for an advance away, thus putting Marillion more firmly into the driving seat negotiation-wise, and anabling them to get the marketing and distribution power of EMI back on side.
It also means that the band work for US - and frankly, if that's the standard of album we get, then I'll pay for the next 5 right now.
