A 3CD set featuring previously unreleased recordings from the Fisherman's Blues album sessions.

 

Almost 400 multi-track tape reels, totalling 150 hours of music, were recorded during the Waterboys' sessions between 1986-88. Among these were 80 tapes with no song titles, just rough notes like "jam" or "unknown.” 

 

In 2024, 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 (some improvised, others painstakingly worked on) that in many cases equalled the quality of those on the original 1988 album. 

 

Includes a book containing sleeve notes from Scott, plus lyrics and unseen photos.
