An extremely rare proof sleeve for the planned cover art for the Big Music seven-inch single.
There are about five fully assembled Big Music sleeves known to be in some hardcore fans' collections but this unique sleeve was never actually issued and it is highly sought after.
This sleeve was very kindly signed by Anthony and Mike and up until recently, neither had ever seen one before.
A beautiful and very rare authentic leather tour jacket from the 1988 - 89 Tours.

And Sharon Shannon wore this very jacket on the cover of her 'Out the Gap' album.
This is a genuine piece of Waterboys history and a very unique artifact.

This Limited Edition Manuscript, with each copy individually signed by Mike and Steve, was only available for a very short time with advance orders of the excellent 'An Appointment With Mr Yeats' album from Townsend Records. Initially, it sold out in about an hour and the Dynamic Duo kindly hand signed more copies which also completely sold out within a couple of hours. The manuscript which shows the violin part from the album's opening track The Hosting Of The Shee, and rendered in the Wickham hand, is printed on 135 gram Matt Art Paper. It is a lovely addition to the album.

This magazine comes with a free CD which contains a quite wonderful demo (which lasts for 10 minutes and 10 seconds) by Mike Scott of 'A Wild Holy Band' (an early version of 'Long Strange Golden Road') that is exclusive to this release.
Mike writes: 'I wrote this song in my bedroom in Scotland at six in the morning, just up, in a songwriting mood, trawling through old notebooks and journals from the late 1990s looking for any ideas that might be lying there forgotten. To my surprise, I found the first verse intact on the page of a journal. I must have written it some years before, and had only the dimmest memory of it. The verse suggested more words, a lyrical theme, and in my head I heard a tune. The song followed'.
This publication is quite difficult to find but it is well worth seeking out.
Here are a selection of rare and quite hard to find postcards that were issued at the time of each album release. Thank you Andy Pritchatt for these postcards.
