This recording had a huge impact on those of us in Scotland learning traditional music in the early 1970s. I believe this may have been the first recording of tunes such as "McMahon's"[aka the "Banshee"]and the "Nine Points Of Roguery". Great singing from Dick Gaughan, too, the only recording he made with them, unfortunately. A real classic, never released on CD, and quite hard to find on vinyl.

No CD?!
Is this still not on CD?! Dalmation! This would be a classic if it consisted only of the two songs from Dick Gaughan. Doubly so with the tunes.
