Only ever released as an LP, as far as I know. Perhaps I can help. I'll be in touch.

I bought this recording on tape years ago. It's just about worn out by now ...

Track 10

The first tune here is "Drag her Across the Road". Throw it Across appears to be another title for The Humours of Toomagh, which is the final tune in this selection.
