The Waterboys - Atlantic Rain, The Lost Fisherman's Blues Recordings - 3LP Box Set
THIS IS A PRE ORDER: RELEASE DATE: 17th July 2026
Almost 400 multi-track tape reels, totalling 150 hours of music, were recorded during the Waterboys' famous Fisherman's Blues sessions of 1986-88. Among these were 80 tapes with no song titles, just rough notes like "jam" or "unknown." In 2024 band leader Mike Scott went through most of these, listening to them for the first time since they were recorded, and discovering in the process dozens of tracks the band had forgotten about; lost recordings, some improvised on the spot, others painstakingly worked on, that in many cases equal the quality of those on the original classic 1988 album.
Scott has compiled these into a triple CD and vinyl collection titled THE LOST FISHERMAN'S BLUES RECORDINGS. This fascinating release will come with a book containing 15,000 words of Scott's own sleeve notes plus lyrics and unseen photos.
