FIRST HEARING:
A compilation created from 'old 78s' so the first track only sets the mood without claiming to be the whole style of the album.
However a few points are set out firmly - vintage recordings; all in Gaelic.
A rather sparse booklet, so we are told nothing of the artists nor the dates or comments of the recordings, supporting cast, lyric translation etc. - all of which are kinda expected.
But as some old pros say, "It's in the grooves".
