I found this old LP (issued by Fiddler Records of Seattle in 1975) in a stack of good trad vinyl in a local record shop. A quick poke around turns up no trace of a reissue, though perhaps I've missed something.
The spellings of the tune titles are as given on the jacket - "Padrigh" O'Keefe is referred to several times in the notes, so the spelling there seems intentional.
Probably not Paddy's fault - and this is a recording I'd love to hear - but the typos stop the link being made to the tunes in the database.
Does he play flute on any of the tracks ?
"Killabeg's" means Killabeg [sp?] House = Ah! Surely. That's flute.
I got the dubs of this and Paddy's other 70's LP, Kerry's Own, from a fellow who "isolated" the flute playing, as he didn't think Paddy up to snuff there...Kerry's Own has two more tracks of Paddy puffing. I seem to recall reading that Paddy made his own flute, how 'bout dat. I prefer this record to Kerry's Own, which has some truly astray strumming and thumping. The liner notes of the R.P. mention that the lady at the piano is one of the only backers Paddy was satisfied with.
Someone should transcribe his Haymaker Reel, which is a great fiddler's variant of the Green Mountain/Maid Behind the Bar. Perhaps it's in the Johnny O'Leary book or something like that. Also it was the title James Morrison gave the GM/MBTB on his old 78, that was more the usual setting though.

Typos ?
Not intentional, Jon - just a consistent mistake, I'd say.
There's also :
Track 2 - "Ennistymon"
Track 4 - "Jenny's"
Track 11 - "Killabeg's"
Track 21 - "Auchentyre"
