Description
This album is almost impossible to purchase from a retail source, I spent years looking for this album in record shops until someone suggested I try ebay and hey presto like buses I now have 2 copies of it.
The album was withrawn after only a limited worldwide release, as Christy had a dispute with WEA regarding the licencing of the record, hence the difficulty in getting it.
To describe this album is easy. The best modern Irish Rebel album ever.
1) Forever on my mind 2) No Time for Love 3) The Peoples owm MP 4) Deportees 5) Michael Gaughan 6) Grannies dustbin lid. 7) Dying soldier 8) Boy from Tamlaghtduff 9) McIIhatton 10) Jesus Christ & Jesse James 11) Galtee Mountain Boy 12) Back Home in Derry.
Two of the tracks on this album 9 & 12 were composed by Bobby Sands MP. The Boy form Tamlaghtduff is a beautiful track written about the second hunger striker to die Francis Hughes. This track is not available anywhere else in Christy's catalogue.
The vinyl disc is in very good condition no scratches or scuff's. It plays right through no skips or jumps (mint apart from a little surface noise but thats vinyl)
The cover is mint, however unlike most versions of this LP the circle on the cover is red and purple rather than green and orange. I can only explain this as the record was pressed in the USA with the jacket cover being printed in Canada and for some reason the cover is different to UK & German versions. See pics.
The only reason for selling this LP is becasue I have sourced a copy with the green & orange cover.
1986 Green Linnet Records pressing SIF 3304.
