The Waterboys – Fisherman’s Blues 6 CD Box-Set

Au weia! Erst die unverzichtbare Dylan-Box, dann Moondance und nun eines meiner absoluten Lieblings-Alben im Super-Format. Ganz zu schweigen von der Clash-Box, Harry Nilsson Complete und die Beach Boys-Box, die ich schon bestellt habe. Das sind ziemliich teure Zeiten. Keine Bootlegs mehr bis auf Weiteres, obwohl gerade da interessante Neuerscheinungen unterwegs sind.

Back in March we revealed that a mammoth reissue of The Waterboys‘ 1988 album Fisherman’s Blues was coming in October. Although a seven-CD set was announced, Uncut are now reporting a six CD box and have also published a full track listing which is detailed below. Don’t worry, although it appears to have ‘lost’ a disc, the track count remains the same at 121, with 85 said to be previously unreleased.
