“May The Saints & Angels Watch Over You” · bootleg vinyl

August 19, 2025  |  No Comments  |  by Axl  |  The Cranberries

Bootleg vinyls seem to be trendy again these last months… at least when it’s about The Cranberries. A new one just surfaced a few days ago and is titled “May The Saints & Angels Watch Over You”

A little more interesting than what’s been released lately, this one was recorded in Madrid in April 1999. Back cover says soundboard recording, and you probably all know the show was broadcast on Spanish TV, so no doubt the audio is coming from this source… pirates are lazy people!

As always with bootlegs, there is no store listing and you have to search record shops, eBay, or other websites and apps. Photos below from Vinted!

Special thanks to Jason once again!


“No Need To Argue 30th” has arrived

August 16, 2025  |  3 Comments  |  by Axl  |  The Cranberries

Yesterday, and more than a month and a half after the release of the 3LP edition, all the other “No Need To Argue (30th Anniversary)” editions were physically released. For die-hard collectors, there are European and US pressings for each format (2LP, 1LP, 2CD, 1CD) and even a Japanese 2CD edition (SHMCD).

All the tracks except the MTV Unplugged ones are also available on all streaming platforms. Once again, the MTV Unplugged is a 3LP Edition exclusive.

Producer Stephen Street posted a very important tweet regarding the remastered album; so this is not just another reissue again and again:

Order your NNTA30 copy(ies) on the official links here.

And new, new merch is also available on the official shop here (more items than previously announced about 2 months ago).


These past weeks and to celebrate the anniversary, The Cranberries shared quite a few unseen footages from the archives. And now for release day, even 2 more rarities:

First, the “Ode To My Family (Iain Cook Remix)” official music video published in 4K on YouTube, crafted from never-before seen footage from the 1994 original shoot.

Secondly and still on YouTube, 55 seconds of never-before seen music video cuts of “Ridiculous Thoughts”

Launch of Seamus Flynn’s new book “Limerick Athenaeum · If Walls Could Talk” next 18 August from 2pm to 4pm at People’s Museum in Limerick.

All proceeds go to Historic Houses of Ireland and Limerick Civic Trust.

A new bootleg LP named “Irish Dreams” was recently released. Nothing really new musically talking, see back cover photo below for tracklisting, and in the same style as the last 2 bootlegs released on vinyl a couple of years ago and without any interest (Live At The Alabamahalle, Radio Sessions 1992-1994).
