Source and
other information		Gael-Linn CEFCD 184, 2004. Subtitle: "Ceolta Éireann 1957-1961. Forty-Three Historic Recordings. Traditional songs in Irish and tunes on fiddle, flute, accordion and uilleann pipes." Two discs of remastered recordings from the twenty 78-rpm records issued by Gael-Linn, originally released in the period between 12 December 1957 and May 1961. The accompanying booklet by Nicholas Carolan is quite extensive, but unfortunately the original recording dates are not given, so the dates I have assigned to each track are merely the release dates. Lyrics, and English translations of the same, are included for all of the songs.

Use the "Tune Info" links below to see details for each tune.

Every Irish tune on this album was identified by carefully comparing this recorded performance with all other tunes in the Irish Traditional Music Tune Index—by comparing musically, disregarding tune titles. The track and tune numbers below, furthermore, correspond to what you actually hear on this album. This page is thus more reliable than the original album notes, track titles listed by iTunes/Media Player, or other Web sites, all of which usually suffer from errors.
