Notes

This a CD release of the 1987 (cassette) recording, simply titled Tinker Man. According to John Lynch, "The Tinker Man turned out quite a good production, Pecker solo all the way, songs with banjo and guitar and a few fiddle tune selections, but had an annoying 'fake' audience at starts and ends of tracks throughout. It was recorded in some domestic-type studio in Castleblayney, Co. Monaghan, as far as I recall and mostly sold by street vendors, as opposed to 'in the shops'."

In addition to the cassette (as mentioned by John), The Tinker Man was also originally released on vinyl.

[1] these titles also appear on "Introducing The Pecker Dunne"—but these are different versions.
