Waterboys – The Best of The Waterboys, ’81-‘91 (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Mike Scott built the Waterboys around a restless musical hunger that took them from the grand, anthemic rock of their early records to the fiddles and accordions of rural Ireland, a journey few bands have navigated so convincingly. That arc, from the soaring ambition of their 1984 and 1985 records to the warmth of the Fisherman's Blues sessions recorded in Spiddal, Co. Galway, is exactly what makes this decade-spanning collection so satisfying as a single listen.
The Best of The Waterboys '81-'90 is a 1991 collection covering the formative years of the group between 1981 to 1990. Selling over 100,000 copies in the UK on it's original release. The collection moves from their rock origins through to their Celtic folk-rock periods personally selected by band leader Mike Scott. The long overdue repress features the timeless classics The Whole of The Moon and Fisherman's Blues, along with renowned tracks of their early period, including A Girl called Johnny, All the Things she gave Me, And A Bang on the Ear, along with a exclusive outtake Killing My Heart and a rousing live version of Old England.Format: Standard weight black vinyl, 3mm spine sleeve and printed inner
