This record by The Waterboys in another oddball in the collection. Their original self-titled and full length LP (8 tracks) came out in 1983. This one was released in 1984. It&#8217;s labeled as a &#8220;Mini LP&#8221; and has only five songs, all of which were on the orginal record. They also released an album of new material that same year, &#8220;A Pagan Place.&#8221; I can&#8217;t find this five-songer on any discography I&#8217;ve seen. I&#8217;m guessing it was a US-only release designed to sell cheap and hype the band for their next full album.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, I like it a lot more than I remember liking it then.  Songs include:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A Girl Called Johnny&#8221; (the hit, I believe)<br \/>\n&#8220;I Will Not Follow&#8221; (my favorite)<br \/>\n&#8220;It Should Have Been You&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Savage Earth Heart&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;December&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Waterboys\">Wikipedia article about The Waterboys<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mikescottwaterboys.com\/\">The Official Website of Mike Scott and The Waterboys<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: The Waterboys Title: Self-titled Mini LP Year: 1984 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
