![]() I have a fantasy that the final boxed set that came out in 2013 will be released as vinyl, if it was, I may find it. It was a record that may have only been released with 10-13 tracks depending on your country, however much, much more was recorded over the two year recording period and released on subsequent compilations. ![]() This October marks the 30th anniversary of the album. However, I always found a way back to it when it was needed. There may have been times in my life that I didn’t listen to it, it lay dormant as some of our favorite albums do due to family issues, me issues. I have had it in various forms ever since. Had to sell it during dire straights, got a copy back a few years later, used as I wanted the original issue. I think I played the album on cassette until I stretched that tape too much. The Waterboys were definitely going in new directions. Blending traditional and new sound, they were creating a bigger, deeper music. When I heard the change in the Waterboys music with the new single, it took a few times of playing the tape over, but I was hooked. I had really enjoyed what had been called, “The Big Music”, a single from their A Pagan Place album, a music sense that spirituality and the land and people came together, and a music sound that was big and grabbed you. I had been listening to the Waterboys first 3 Albums for years, and it had been fun trying to get import copies of them in the early 80s in San Francisco. I remember the first time I heard the song “Fisherman’s Blues “on my local college radio station in California.
