Overview
Irish Dance Music --- 2012
"In 1973, Folkways Records of New York issued "Irish Dance Music", Reg Hall's pioneer anthology taken from 78 rpm records. Drawing on material and information not available to him then, this second edition contains a revised selection of recordings and new notes." Substantially different than the Folkways LP [r5738858] - only duplicates a few tracks. Includes 24-page booklet.
