This is an album of "greatest hits ",… hmmm. I don't like compilations, or the "Best of" or the "Very Best", etc, etc. Essential songs always leave out, for purely commercial grounds, of course. With Planxty, it is a different: all the first time is essential:
Planxty / The Well Below The Valley / Cold Blow And The Rainy Night, where all music is good, therefore, any release is good to recognize the genius of these musicians.
One thing that makes a difference in this compilation: there is an unreleased track that was released as a single (not published in their official discography.) This is the song "Cliffs of Doone." A beautiful ballad, which Christy released before on his album Prosperous (without a doubt, this version in the compilation of the song is over). The fact is that published in this collection and this album makes it a miss and recommended for those who still don't know this band.

Este es un álbum de "Grandes éxitos",… hummm. No me gustan los compilados, ni los "Best of", ni los "Very best". Siempre dejan canciones imprescindibles fuera, por un motivo meramente comercial, desde luego. Con Planxty, sucede algo diferente: toda su primera época es imprescindible:
Planxty / The Well below the Valley / Cold Blow And The Rainy Night, donde toda la música es buena, por lo mismo, cualquier compilado es bueno para reconocer el genio de estos músicos.
Hay un detalle que hace la diferencia en este compilado: hay un tema inédito que fue publicado como single (no ha sido publicado en su discografía oficial). Se trata de la canción "Cliffs of Dooneen". Una preciosa balada, que Christy publicó antes en su álbum Prosperous (sin duda, esta versión en el compilado de dicha canción es superior). El caso es que la publicaron en esta colección y esto, lo hace un álbum imperdible y recomendable para los que aun no conocen este conjunto.
