Sweeney's Dream (Fiddle Tunes From County Sligo, Ireland)

Overview

Sweeney's Dream (Fiddle Tunes From County Sligo, Ireland) --- undefined

Recorded by Isaac Breslauer and Leslie Hanson of Meadowland Records in 1972. Originally issued by Meadowland Records in 1973. Reissued by Moses Asch for Folkways Records as F 8876. This version represents a period before the CD was issued. Beginning in 1987, you could order a hand burned CDR of any Folkways title from the Smithsonian. Copes were run from the master tapes. They are packed in a generic Moses Asch slipcase, along with a xerox of the album credits and an ink jet label on the disc itself.
