| 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. |
