Clamshell box set edition of The Waterboys’ 1985 due in April
Cheaper version coming
With the recently released deluxe edition effectively now sold out at the distributors, The Waterboys‘ celebration of their This Is The Sea album is being made available at a cheaper price and a less luxurious presentation.
You get the same six CDs which feature 95 tracs, 64 of them previously unreleased, but this time they are presented in card wallets which are housed in a clamshell box set. The massive 220 hardcover book is distilled to a 56-page, perfect bound booklet.
The new version is about £35 cheaper, so fans can argue which version presents the best value. The proper deluxe is limited to 3,000 units and you can check it out via the SDEtv unboxing video.
This clamshell box edition of 1985 will be released on 12 April 2024, via Chrysalis.
