You are most welcome!
Just had to give it a spin since it was talked about...lol.
I think I would say it is worth $25 for sure, I think you will be impressed with the vinyl sq of this album.

Mind I still used to prefer The Waterboys tbh.

@uberwaltz - Can you recommend a record from The Waterboys? I missed that boat when it was sailin'....

@reubent 

Fisherman's blues...... The Waterboys.

In fact this contains a track called World Party, wonder if that is where he got idea for name for his next band? 

Tidal has been a godsend for me if go no other reason than when I see somebodies recommended music here or their current choice of play I can quickly go and have a listen without buying CD or vinyl.
For $20 a month it is worth it many times over just for that alone!

I suspect you know Karl Wallinger and Mike Scott were bandmates in the early days of The Waterboys but the old creative differences bugaboo ensued leading to KW forming his own band: World Party. As far as that WB track being inspiration for KW’s band’s name, this wouldn’t surprise me (he’s credited as co-writer of it). BUT I’ll also point out that "World Party" is used as band name and/or song title and plays an important role at the end of Phillip K. Dick’s 1976 novel, Radio Free Albemuth (Fisherman’s Blues was released 1988). Personally, I suspect THIS is the ultimate source for both track name and KW’s band name. BTW - long time World Party fan myself. WP is one of the very few bands I’m "completist" about (not that their/his output is all that large). I’ll pretty much buy without audition anything KW does. FWIW you might enjoy the ARKEOLOGY collection.
