Water Circle is the second demo EP of the Irish band The Cranberry Saw Us.[1] It was released in cassette format and was used as an unsolicited demo sent to various major record labels.[2] This is the first release to feature the vocal stylings of Dolores O'Riordan.[2] All songs on the EP are written by Dolores O'Riordan and Noel Hogan.[1] A bootleg MP3 of Water Circle appeared on the internet in 2002 courtesy of The Cranberries' drummer Fergal Lawler, who gave two CD-Rs of rare tracks to Alex Kraus, owner of the now closed fan site zomebieguide.com.[citation needed] In 2011, the actual cassette EP had appeared on eBay with an asking price of US$1499.95.[3] It is the only copy known to still exist in a fan collection, owned by Mr Kraus.[4] At least one other copy exists, because Noel Hogan posted on his Instagram account a photo with some of his old The Cranberries' tapes and Water Circle is among them.[5]
Television performance
To promote Water Circle, The Cranberries appeared on the Irish television show On The Waterfront which was hosted by Robert Arkins and Felim Gormley from The Commitments.[6] They performed "Linger", which was recorded and was broadcast in 1992.[6]
