☀ The Waterboys CD Singles ☀
The 'This Light Is For The World' CD single is taken from the excellent 'Universal Hall' album.
Yet again we are given two extra unreleased tracks on this CD single release.
The songs are 'Winter Blows' and a fine cover of 'Independence Day' (Bruce Springsteen) which Mike once closed a show with, back in the days of the Universal Hall tour.
☄ 'Everybody Takes A Tumble' (2006) ☄
Not too difficult to find, but well worth seeking out for the two extra songs on the disc. An electrifying live version of 'Killing My Heart' from the Olympia Theatre Dublin in 2006, on which Steve and Richard reach soaring heights of brilliance! This song did not make it onto the 'Karma To Burn' live album but it can also be found on the 'Sound Of Cloud' CD.
In closing we are treated to a beautiful live version of the George Harrison classic 'All Things Must Pass' which was recorded on Radio Bremen in 2003.

There were two versions of the Fisherman's Blues CD single released and they had different cover sleeves as well as different tracks.

The 'Lost Highway' song was also a regular in the set lists back in the old days.
☄ 'And A Bang On The Ear' (1988) ☄
Unsurprisingly the song 'Bang On The Ear' became somewhat of a Waterboys anthem when it was released back in 1988.
It is backed by a wonderfully raucous live version of 'Raggle Taggle Gypsy' which incidentally, was recorded in the Barrowlands in Glasgow.
The single was released in two CD formats, both as a three inch and a five inch single.

☄ 'The Whole Of The Moon' (1991) ☄
This song (along with Fisherman's Blues) is probably the most well known of all the songs in The Waterboys canon, and always causes a huge stir when it is played at a live show.

☄ 'Glastonbury Song' (1993) ☄

Another great single release from the 'Dream Harder' album, The Return Of Pan is backed with two more unreleased songs.
These songs are Karma and Mister Powers.
There is also a version of this single with a 'Hidden' track included of The Return of Pan (Demo Version) although it is not listed on the disc or the sleeve.
"Lightning Eyed and Cloven- Hooved, The Great God Pan is Alive!"

The extra songs are 'Sad Procession', 'The Faeries' Prisoner', 'Is She Conscious?' (Acoustic), 'Savage Earth Heart' (a 16 minute Live version!) and 'My Lord, What A Morning'.
