Missing one gem "Time will cure me".......2006-01-14

Apart from missing the best song they ever recorded (Time will cure me) it's a brilliant CD of trad Irish folk music.
Music to relax and enjoy on a Sunday afternoon or in the car on a weekend drive.

One of my desert island discs.......2004-02-09

I simply never tire of this album. I wore out my vinyl copy; now I'll wear out the CD, if that's possible. Trad Irish music just doesn't get better than this.

Erin Go Braugh!.......2002-02-10

What a brilliant collection! Sure to keep you singing and dancing with a bit 'o blarney in your heart! 5 clovers for this one!

Just the best.......2001-04-01

This CD is worthy of being in any collection of any one who likes to listen to Irish music. The fabulous instrument playing and the range and type of music Planxty have put on this album makes it a must for listening to. I have never tired of it since I bought it back in 89.

Still brilliant after all these years.......2000-10-06

I recently heard Raggle Taggle Gypsy on the radio and remembered how I loved this record when it first came out in the 70s. I still have the old vinyl record somewhere in storage (probably unplayable)and I try to listen to new music rather than buying old things again as CDs but this is one exception. It's still one of the finest collections of Irish music ever put together and has not dated at all! If anything it sounds even stronger now compared to much of the newer stuff coming out of Ireland. That segue from 'RTG' into to 'Tabhair..' is magnificent, leaves me exhilirated every time. Oh.. and I've always wanted to thank Planxty for the highest scoring Scrabble word I ever managed to make!!
