Comments and Reviews


Cúlabúla 5th Jan 2019		The French version is a wonderful pressing. After waiting years for one to come along, I find two pristine copies within a week of each other, for 20€ each.



Fokeman 23rd Dec 2018		Yes, certainly Cúlabúla. I think you're right. I think the wrong track listings were taken from the back of the sleeve, rather than from the label. It's easier to take the information from the largest and least fragile surface area but it is not 100% foolproof. The errors have been resolved now with all tracks matching the label and the information on the French version. To add to the list of errors, Brid was misspelled as Bird on two of the B side labels.



Cúlabúla 12th Dec 2018		Can someone clarify for me the true status of the last tracks on both sides ? Is it simply that the French copy got it correct on label, sleeve and record while the Irish copy listed the two tracks the wrong way round on the sleeve ?



Fokeman 14th Apr 2018		There's another version of The Banks Of Claudy sung by Triona Ni Domhnaill on this album too! They are another Irish Folk Supergroup if ever there was one... Skara Brae is another Irish group related to this one... Note to self, this needs to be put up... note to self, now done!



Gian_paolo 3rd Apr 2018		Just listened to Ceathrar, a really good song from a related act



Fokeman 3rd Apr 2018		Yes, they were both misspelled on the first label - Michael for Mícheál and Hanley for Hanly. And to add to the list of spelling errors, of which Lunney is one, Declan McNelis is also spelled incorrectly on the rear of the sleeve as Declan McNeils.



Gian_paolo 2nd Apr 2018		Thanks Fokeman, I also see Mick Hanly was mispelled Hanley on the first labels



Fokeman 2nd Apr 2018		See my comments below about the cover variant of either gold or red... Other label variants now uploaded. Second label had complete change of layout and the album title disappeared with the Polydor black disc! To reply to your point Gian_Paolo about a UK issue - all issues shown have Made in Republic of Ireland or Made in Ireland, as can be seen in the label images uploaded. I would be prepared to eat various items of headwear were a UK issue to appear! Don't forget that to an American, an Irish issue is conceivably a UK issue. (Ireland is part of the British Isles geographically) and not a USA issue. At any rate it is possible to discern the shape of the "Made in The Republic of Ireland" text on the left of the "UK" label and simply by looking at the layout of the label, I can tell it is Irish. The final clincher, is that 2908 as a Polydor prefix was ONLY EVER used in Ireland (see the contents of my 2908 Irish list at the bottom of this page). Every issue of this record - both Irish and French - has Donal Lunny spelled as Lunney on the rear of sleeve credits.



Gian_paolo 10th Mar 2018		No certain evidence so far, but there is at least an alternative label layout anyway. This should be the French label. Here they say it's a UK copy, too small to see but the label is different from both the Irish or French. By the way this is another Irish variant, and another one!!



Fokeman 10th Mar 2018		Gian Paolo, unless you can show me evidence to the contrary, I'm pretty sure that no UK pressing of this LP exists. It was Primarily an Irish issue with also a French issue. Both sleeve variants of white and red and gold existed on the Irish issue.



Fokeman 7th Sep 2015		Thanks Gian_Paolo, that's what I meant. APART from the labels, nowhere else is the name Munroe visible. Not on the sleeve anywhere. And even on the labels, only on the bottom part which talks about the publishing rights. The Wikipedia information on this record repeatedly mentions Monroe, which seems to be completely erroneous. This was just one mistake amongst many others...



Gian_paolo 7th Sep 2015		Label scans added, probably a repress as I bought this as new (from the in-famous C.M. mail order) in late 1983



Gian_paolo 6th Sep 2015		The Munroe credits are mentioned on the labels, at least on my copy! UK pressing also exists, same cat. number. My copy should be a late 70s or early 80s repress anyway, as I see different labels around...



Fokeman 6th Sep 2015		Although nowhere else mentioned, all tracks are credited to this duo's group name "Munroe" apart from the track credited to Pentangle A6 on the French issue and B6 on the Irish issue.



Fokeman 6th Sep 2015		Two versions of the cover exist. The first, and most common has a white/gold lettering with the gold giving the 3d effect. The second variant has red as a 3d colour. The Triskel is variously white or silver depending on the whim of the printer at the time of print.
