Sleeve Notes

TROUBLE, they say, usually comes in threes. But so do pleasures. If you believe one superstition you should as readily believe the other. And proof is available in this second of three EPs which the Corrie Folk Trio and Paddie Bell made as their first set of commercial recordings.

ELP 129, the first of the series, has proved so successful that a reprint was inevitable. Since then the group have gone on to fresh adventures — a weekly appearance on television, a highly satisfactory three-week season at the Edinburgh Festival, and frequent one-night stands at concert halls throughout Scotland.

This selection includes some of the songs which audiences at these concerts have come to love and recognise as "Corrie" material — varying from the roistering comedy of "Bungle Rye" and "The Itinerant Cobbler" to the soothing melody of the "Tiree Love Song."

…Balladeers Notes

The original release of Yon Folk Songs is for the Burds contained six tracks and with subsequent a "four-track" release. I believe the cover with the photo of the group to be the original release. These songs appear on other CFT & PB releases, see the discography notes page for more information.

¹ Only appears on the 6-track release.
