Scratchy, but that's the nature of old 78s, and if you process them too much to remove the rough bits you can end up damaging the thing you hope to preserve. While I have the commercial cassette on hand, we don't have our vinyl here, so I don't know if Shanachie produced decent notes for this compilation. The cassette is lacking anything other than an incomplete track list. I've tried to fill in the blanks but have left some of the titles, making sure they link through to the transcriptions here on site. As one example, a jig listed as "Dougherty's" is better known as "Up Sligo" or "The Trip to Sligo".
I hadn't bothered to check to see if this was here, taking it for granted until I started transcribing something from it for someone, and found this was missing.
As I understand it, the compilation "The Enduring Magic of Michael Coleman" took tracks from this collection and "The Classic Recordings of Michael Coleman":
