Great recording of Liam O’Flynn that had a limited distribution!

No track list given?

Is this the record “Fire Aflame” ?

It was Liam’s first solo pipes recording. Some great playing on this tape.
Get It!

Whoops.

Thanks, Ben.

I’d misread “1988” as “1998”

Still, it’d be nice to have a track listing.
And for whatever reason, I cannot get the pictures to display.

So which version is better, the one with only one side or the one with two?

8

Well Kevin, it’s like slicing up a pizza. There’s the age-old question of “6 slices or 8?” You don’t ever want to slice it into 8 slices, because you might not be able to eat them all.

Thanks to djm & Peter Laban for the list.

His version of Willie Clancy’s Reel is one of my favorites!

:laughing: Good point! I moved this from cassette to CD long ago, and didn’t even think of the difference. :laughing:

The Grey Gander or the Humours of Quilty would have been a better choice as a name though.

I scanned the tracklist from the lp cover, didn’t give the double sided issue a second thought.
