Notes
Apparently this album was recorded in 1983, but not released until 1985. According to
Christy Moores website:
“This album came about as the result of a trip I made to H
Blocks. I left the Falls Road in a van that was clapped out.
It was used daily to ferry prisoners families to and from the
camp. I got the idea to try and raise money for a new van and
that was the purpose of this album. WEA got to hear about it
and sequestered it under terms of contract which is how it
became Warners album which I had never wanted it to be.”
