    I love it enough to start complaining about shipping delays and sound now.

    My hope is that it's a Limited Edition set so that everyone can complain about which edition # they received as well!

    Damn! I JUST READ SCOTT'S BRILLIANT BOOK LAST FALL, and as this era is my favorite Waterboys Big Music, I just might have to spring for it in the fall--especially of Isis and the other Dylan covers are included.

    This is the one Cd version I already have. Plus a regular US pressing on Lp.

    Anyone know the best Lp version? UK?

    I have the DE as well - been a few years since I listened to it - IIRC the bonus material was very good. Can't recall how the DE studio reissue sounded compared to the original CD release. Never had the vinyl.

    I sent an email request to Import CD's to remind them to cancel a few preorders with no explanation as to why.

    Please start a thread about it as I love to read about the 1 transaction that went wrong and not about the 1000s that went right.

    It's the only Waterboys album I like (played it constantly when it was first released), so this definitely has my attention.

    That's great. Thanks. I used to be huge Waterboys fan, but they fell off my radar a long time ago. Great excuse to pull out the albums--and of course, wait for the box set.

    BOX SET AND 'FISHERMAN'S BLUES REVISITED' TOUR

    In October it will be 25 years since the release of Fisherman's Blues. To celebrate, on 14th October EMI Records will release a 7-CD set titled FISHERMAN'S BOX, containing 121 tracks from the album sessions including all those on the original record and previous editions plus an incredible 85 unreleased tracks. The contents have been selected and annotated by Mike Scott, with sleevenotes by Decemberists' singer and long-time Fisherman's Blues aficionado, Colin Meloy. We'll be announcing the tracklists of the 7 CDs throughout spring & summer.

    As a further celebration, The Waterboys will play a special tour of Britain and Ireland this December titled FISHERMAN'S BLUES REVISITED, reuniting Mike and Steve with Fisherman's-era members Anto Thistlethwaite and Trevor Hutchinson. The famous four will be joined by drummer Ralph Salmins and the shows will be a re-exploration of the Fisherman's Blues period. Says Mike: "We won't play the original album in order or anything tame like that. That's not the Waterboys' style. Instead we'll be roaming our old repertoire in a new expression of the freewheeling, improvised spirit of The Waterboys in those days. We want to get that old fire burning again, and I wanna hear Steve and Anto wailing like the two-man orchestra we all remember."

    Tickets for the 13 shows go on sale this FRIDAY 22nd MARCH at 9am. Dates as follows:

    One of my favorite albums. Yes I'm actually interested in finding out what's in the box.

    For the original album content, the original CD is superior. So a fan pretty much has to have both the original and the deluxe for the bonus disc. The US LP is fine if one can find one. Looks like you're set.

    Thanks for that! Now to compare this to what has leaked out. The only things that appear to be missing at first glance are some covers: Blowing in the Wind, My Mafia, Wallflower, Passenger, and Death is not the End. I'm wondering if these titles are different from the old title list on the website. My Beautiful Baby is undoubtedly the clean title for If You Don't **** Me.

    My band does Fisherman's Blues as an encore at every gig we play. I have just suggested to my bandmates we cover the boxed set at our next gig.... :)
