Notes

image Apparently, this album was recorded, for Outlet Records (located in Belfast), in 1967 and then lost — the master was recovered as a result of cleaning up after a bomb blast.

The cover drawing for the Toss the Feathers LP was clearly based on the photograph from the cover (right) of Fleá Ceoil (1966 - Gael-Linn CEF 013 LP). While the bodhrán player may be Brendan Byrne, the fiddler is almost certainly not Ted Furey. In addition, neither Ted Furey or Brendan Byrne appear on the Fleá Ceoil LP.
