Deluxe version of Fisherman’s Box (click to enlarge)

There was a little confusion (thanks to an erroneous Amazon description) around the vinyl content within the deluxe version of forthcoming Waterboys Fisherman’s Box.

This new photo confirms that the premium edition offers seven CDs and one 180g vinyl record. Six of those CDs are available in the cheaper version of this set, with the bonus disc (a collection of songs that influenced the making of the album – see track listing below) exclusive to this box. The vinyl is a remastered copy of the original Fisherman’s Blues album.

The photo also shows the three large art prints and the 32-page booklet (to the left of the green vinyl album sleeve). The contents reside in the large slipcase (the other CD-only package is a small clamshell affair).

Fisherman’s Box is released on 21 October 2013 on Parlophone.  Full track listings and further details on this set can be found here.

  1. According to The Waterboys website, the clamshell 6CD version has been delayed to Nov 11 or Nov 18 due to “unexpected demand”, but the deluxe version has been sent out, at least by Amazon. So therefore the music is there, perhaps that is why the Autorip function worked (though only in the UK).

  2. CD7 Tracklist with Artists :
    CD7) 1 On My Way To Heaven – Blind Roger Hays (1928),
    2 Meet Me At The Station – Brother Williams, Memphis Sanctified Singers (1930),
    3 Can The Circle Be Unbroken? – The Carter Family (1935),
    4 The Gospel Train Is Coming – Guitar Evangelist, Rev Edward W Clayborn (1936),
    5 This Land Is Your Land – Woody Guthrie (1944), 6 Honky Tonkin’ – Hank Williams (1947),
    7 I Don’t Feel At Home In This World Anymore – Two Gospel Keys, 8 I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry – Hank Williams (1949),
    9 Lost Highway – Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (1972),
    10 Will The Circle Be Unbroken? – Nitty Gritty Dirt Band & Mother Maybelle Carter (1972),
    11 The Raggle Taggle Gypsy – Planxty (1973), 12 Maggie – De Dannan (1981),
    13 Carolan’s Welcome – Scottish Fiddlers Of Los Angeles (1982),
    14 The Humours Of Castlefin – Noel Hill & Tony MacMahon (1985), 15 Gold Ring – Donal Lunny (1987),
    16 An Cailin Allain – Tomas Mac Eoin (1987),

  7. Can anyone provide further info on the bonus disc of “songs that influenced the making of the album”? This description seems to imply that these are not recordings from the FB sessions. But are they new recordings by the current version of the Waterboys? Or the actual old recordings by other artists that provided inspiration? If the latter, do we know what artists are represented? Thanks.

    1. I was worried someone might ask that question! :)

      I *think* it is different artists whose songs inspired the recording of Fisherman’s Blues in the first place.

      Will try and find out more!
