Apart from being a leading UK music publisher Chappell also specialised in providing library albums of generic music for TV and film productions.

This LP was released in 1986 (CHAP 125) and its first side consists of nine tracks by The Chieftains. The second side is divided into five sections - 'blown instruments', 'string instruments', 'percussion' and 'vocals' (with solo examples provided by individual Chieftains, including 35 seconds of bones mayhem from Martin Fay, plus two songs from Mary-Clare Breathnach), as well as a couple of tracks from the Castle Céilí Band.

The album's worth tracking down simply for Matt Molloy's solo rendition of 'The Butterfly'.
