Hi,
I was very interested to see such a rare LP on sale. My husband took the cover images around the Marble Arch area in London back in 1969, but never received a copy of the album - which is a great shame bearing in mind the current price!
Re. your reference to the fact that it is not available on CD, we have been looking for a copy of the album and have found that a CD version is available from Christy Moore's own website.
Kind regards,
Lesley
