THE WATERBOYS A Pagan Place SEALED 180 Gram LP

Description: THE WATERBOYS A Pagan Place hails from 2014 and is a SEALED 180 gram LP (marked UPC). Released in 1984 A Pagan Place was the band's second album. It was the first Waterboys record with Karl Wallinger as part of the band and also includes Roddy Lorimer's first trumpet solo for the band on the track "A Pagan Place". This reissue is cut from the 2002 remaster and contains full length versions of ‘All the Things You Gave Me' & ‘The Thrill Is Gone' which were not used on the original LP. Sharing its title with an Edna O’Brien novel which Mike Scott, who named the album and wrote the title track, has never actually read, the first sessions for A Pagan Place took place in November 1982, but they only featured Scott, Thistlethwaite, and Wilkinson. By the time the band returned to record the remainder of the album, almost a year had passed (the second sessions didn’t take place until September 1983), and in addition to having added Wallinger to the lineup, the band had also released their self-titled album and scored their first chart hit with “A Girl Called Johnny.”Unfortunately, A Pagan Place did not result in the Waterboys scoring their second chart hit, despite having high hopes for the album’s first single, “The Big Music,“ and although they weren’t released as singles in the UK, “Church Not Made with Hands” and “All the Things She Gave Me” received a promotional push elsewhere which ultimately came to naught. With that said, however, quite a few critics fell in love with the album, which –if nothing else – at least helped raise the band’s, which doubtlessly assisted them in breaking through to mainstream audiences with their next record, 1985’s This Is the Sea.Remember “The Whole of the Moon”? Well, if you liked that song and always wondered what the rest of the Waterboys’ music was like, then consider taking a trip to A Pagan Place. It may not be the band’s definitive album – we’re pretty sure most people would still bestow that honor on Fisherman’s Blues – but it’s still a strong piece of work. 1. Church Not Made With Hands 2.
