Fan Club Christmas discs

Free issue to Fan Club members only, very limited runs. CDs were released from 1998 to 2008; DVDs were released from 2009 onwards. All titles now out of print, although are available for purchase as download only when taking out or renewing Fan Club membership. Most contain a Christmas message from the band members, one new Christmas-themed song, and an assortment of other tracks.

Front Row Club releases

The Front Row Club was a subscription-only service by which CDs of raw concert recordings, originally made by the band for their own reference, were released. Members paid for a subscription, and as the shows were released, they were automatically mailed to members. There were also occasional optional releases, which were only mailed on request - these were generally reissues of previously released material. The only FRC issue which was available to non-subscribers was the Curtain Call box set - this was the only FRC release of material recorded before Steve Hogarth joined the band, and was sold via both Marillion and Fish's online stores, as well as being an optional FRC release.
After the release of FRC-040 in January 2008, the FRC changed to a download-only digital distribution format. This lasted for a further three issues - after FRC-043, the FRC was closed.
Only a limited number of copies were manufactured for each FRC release and were not re-issued once sold out. Most of the FRC releases are now out of print on CD, but are still available from the band's website as downloads.
