To add to my previously purchased Waterboys box sets, this new one was waiting for me when l arrived home from work yesterday, and although l haven't had time to play it all or read the book yet, once out of the box, it looks fantastic, and the book looks much more substantial and informative than l was expecting. It's the tracks based around The Waterboys 1985 album 'This is the Sea' spread over 6 cds, with the beforementioned hardback book included. As l used to be a bootlegger, l've heard many Waterboys outtakes and radio sessions from this time already, but there's plenty more here to keep me entertained for some time. For what it's worth (Great song by Buffalo Springfield), with the albums 'A Pagan Place', 'This is the Sea' and 'Fisherman's Blues', and their incendiary and eclectic live shows during this period, they were probably the best band in the world, matched only by U2 at their peak. The top picture is an advert for the album at the time
