LP – Limited EditionSeville Orange Vinyl. First time on vinyl.

TheWaterboys‘ eighth studio album is made available on vinyl for the first time.

Originally released in 2003,Universal Hallwas recorded in thebasement studio of the titular hall, a theatre and concert venue in Findhorn, Scotland. It is the most nakedly spiritual of the band’s records, all the more so for having been mostly written and entirely made in the spiritual community at Findhorn. At the time of release, band leaderMike ScottdescribedUniversal Hallas “a record containing eleven spiritual songs that articulate – to the best of my ability – the vision that drives, challenges, sustains and transforms me.”

This vision is explored in now-classic Waterboys numbers such as “Peace Of Iona“, “The Christ In You” and “Universal Hall” itself. The celtic-flavoured “I’ve Lived Here Before“, was written withLiam O’MaonlaiofHothouse Flowers. The album also saw the return of the band’s fiddlerSteve Wickham, his first appearance on a Waterboys’ record sinceRoom To Roamin 1990.
