  Passage: Best of Both Worlds is a two-disc compilation album by British neo-progressive rock band Marillion released in 1997 by EMI Records, who the band had been signed to from their debut in 1982 until being dropped in 1995.  The title refers to Marillion's two distinct "eras" with lead singers Fish (1980—1988) and Steve Hogarth (since 1989).  By the time this compilation was released, both line-ups had recorded four studio albums each.  The second best-of since the 14-track one-disc compilation "A Singles Collection" (known as "Six of One, Half a Dozen of the Other "in the US) from 1992, this one additionally contains material from "Brave "(1994) and "Afraid of Sunlight" (1996).  Two different covers were created for the compilation, one by Mark Wilkinson, who had worked for the band during the Fish years, and one by Bill Smith Studio, who took over after Fish's and Wilkinson's departure.  The booklet was printed so that either of the covers could be displayed in the jewel case according to personal preference.  The track list, comprising 29 songs, was put together by Lucy Jordache, then the manager responsible for the band in EMI, in close collaboration with the band's fans' mailing list, "Freaks" (named after the eponymous song).  Jordache also motivated singers Fish and Hogarth to contribute liner notes—at a time when both camps were not yet on friendly terms again—by telling each of them the other had already agreed to do so.
