Description

Available with Vinyl records London. Blue Vinyl Vinyl Records Double Vinyl Waterboys ‘A Rock In The Weary Land’ was The Waterboys’ seventh studio album, originally released on 25 September 2000. The recording saw the return of the band name after Mike Scotts two solo albums and featured contributions from two original Waterboys, Kevin Wilkinson and Anthony Thistlethwaite, and some brilliant new ones including keyboard players Thighpaulsandra and Sir Richard Naiff. NME described the album as a masterpiece and Mojo called it “brazen, unapologetic, vital”.This Cooking Vinyl release marks the first time the album has been reissued, and its first ever release on vinyl. Mike Scott has curated this definitive version, with the sequence on the LPs and CD Disc 1 based on the 14song 2001 US edition, which added ‘Lucky Day Bad Advice’ and ‘My Lord, What A Morning’ to the original UK version. The 2CD version features twelve previously unreleased tracks, chosen by Scott, and the 4th side of the 2LP vinyl version is taken up with a spectacular 16minute live version of Waterboys classic Savage Earth Heart. Scott has also overseen a reworking of the artwork, using a different Steve Gullick photo from the original album cover sessions on the front, while both vinyl and CD formats include many previously unseen shots. The CD package includes a 28page booklet, and the vinyl album comes in a gatefold sleeve.

By spreading the music across four sides, this format allows for wider grooves, improved dynamics, and often higher-quality mastering compared to squeezing everything onto a single disc.

It’s a format that prioritises both sound quality and completeness — ideal for immersive listening and serious collectors..
