For those wanting the Irish Rovers on CD. The current status of my recommended com

"Silver Anniversary" from 1989 is a compilation of their Attic Recordings notable for having the not often compiled on CD original hit version of "Wasn't That a Party" from 1980:

Amazon US has a few copies starting at $39.95, and eBay has Silver Anniversary for cheap so buy this off of eBay

 

Amazon Marketplace has copies of the Unicorn album on CD priced as low as $15.

Keep checking eBay, Amazon, etc. for the Greatest Hits comp mentioned in these 2 archived threads and the 2 threads are http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=56064 and http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=89969. Still in print in Canada so Amazon.ca does carry the comp at http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B000065M0P/

Upon a Shamrock Shore is still in print in the US and used copies are cheap: http://www.amazon.com/Upon-Shamrock-Shore-Songs-Ireland/dp/B000046PU9/

 

It is asking so much to have
a box with all the Decca/MCA
stuff ?

 

I think that this boxed set still be perfect.

 

Just curious about what the differences are in the hit version of "Wasn't That A Party"? I don't think I've heard any other version since it was a hit and all over the radio all those years ago.

 

Check out a Varese compilation or the Millennium Collection comp and you will hear the re-recording of it. The original version isn't the most readily available on CD.

 

Ah ok, thanks. Thought it might have been a mix or edit difference.
