The Rising Of The Moon 1956 Tradition TLP 1006 LP

*According to Liam Clancy's book, "The Mountain of the Women", there are two versions of this record. The first, recorded in 1956, with only harmonica (by Paddy) and tin whistle (by Tommy M.) accompaniment. This version (of which about 200 copies were released) was deemed unsuitable and the same songs were recorded, this time with guitar, harp and drum accompaniment—and re-released in 1959. According to Sean McGuinness, "The original release did not have the name The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem at the top. On the back, the address for Tradition was on Christopher Street and there is no mention of Jack Keenan or the harp player. This would be the 1956 release. The 1959 release included the name of the group at the top of the front cover and showed Kennan's name on the back on the top. The version of O'Donnell Aboo features harp and drum accompaniment (as opposed to the harmonica only on the 1956 release, which ended up on the reissue later). If you have an orange label, it is not the original label, but a reissue.”
