Notes
Made in the Republic of Ireland.
Note, the original sleeve had TARA 1000 catalogue number on rear (a number which never existed) when in fact this, the first record on the label, was TARA 1001. It was also later issued as TARA 2008. This change reflected a change in the price code as the 1000 series was selling at a different price.
The original recording was made by Bill Leader, who was UK based, so this record was issued in Ireland by Tara, only after the initial release in the UK on the Trailer label.

This album isn't from Planxty's discography, naturally. But we can't ignore that this album by Christy Moore is Planxty: The date 1972 (a year later published the legend, the Planxty "Black Album" ), the first song Raggle Taggle and … their members.
Would it be as a proto-Planxty? I think so.
Well, impossible to ignore the undeniable Christy's genius, to integrate these musicians and their instrumentation. I've heard quite about of music. And my smell I haven't cheated when I'm before a gem that could be the "missing link" of something big. This is the exact example.
Terrific album.
5 StarsFran Solo, 2010
"As I got over the excitement of having made an album I began to hear what it was that had been recorded. I realised how important it was to work with musicians who could hear the work and empathise with the singer. All these songs have an atmosphere and a definite vibe of their own and that must be respected.†
When Bill Leader agreed to record my work for his Trailer label. I made contact with Donal Lunny, Andy Irvine, Liam O'Flynn and asked them to play on my second album. I'd known Donal since school and followed his music right from the start. He taught me how to play guitar and bowrawn and has always been the most sensitive collaborator and friend.
He also has a great understanding of the other instruments their capabilities and limitations and can write riffs and fills for all occasions. Liam O'Flynn is the first piper I encountered and forty years on is still my favourite. I'd known Andy from his work with Sweeny's Men and occasional meetings along the trail.
This was a wonderful session of recordings. It was a time of great music and fun. Bill Leader was the most innovative of engineers and got on with his task of getting it down. Considering he was working with a Revox Reel to Reel and two mikes the sounds he recorded are ageing well.
I've talked about this album in many interviews. It has been viewed in lots of ways and taken apart, dissected and given all sorts weighty significance these past 30 years. It is flattering and titillating to hear of it's debate but the truth is it was made primarily for the sheer joy of making music. We did it because we loved to do it. We had a ball and all we sought to do was to record the sounds that we liked. All that followed has been an unexpected and most welcome bonus."christymoore.com
