The Planxty Collection

What can I say, it's Planxty! Nice collection of traditional, rootsy, Irish folk music. Both instrumentals and vocals. Enjoy!!

Some songs on the second side I wouldn't have ordered as they didn't have the sparkle of the rest of the collection. Wish there were a way to here each choice in its entirety before purchase.

I love Irish music and this CD is a good one for long drives, very relaxing. All the tracks are good. I had not heard of the group until hearing them on a Facebook post- but am glad I found them!

I recently heard Raggle Taggle Gypsy on the radio and remembered how I loved this record when it first came out in the 70s. I still have the old vinyl record somewhere in storage (probably unplayable)and I try to listen to new music rather than buying old things again as CDs but this is one exception. It's still one of the finest collections of Irish music ever put together and has not dated at all! If anything it sounds even stronger now compared to much of the newer stuff coming out of Ireland. That segue from 'RTG' into to 'Tabhair..' is magnificent, leaves me exhilirated every time. Oh.. and I've always wanted to thank Planxty for the highest scoring Scrabble word I ever managed to make!!

If I were on a desert island with only a handful of CDs, this would be one of them. Brilliant work. I first heard Planxty in my uncle Mark's living room and oh how I fell in love with their music! Their "Raggle Taggle Gypsy" is phenomenal. And just when you think the song is over, you are treated to much much more fabulous music. The CD is filled with a lovely balance of tunes, lively songs, and ballads. Wonderful lyrics. Great CD. Absolutely a must have to any Celtic Collection.

Apart from missing the best song they ever recorded (Time will cure me) it's a brilliant CD of trad Irish folk music.Music to relax and enjoy on a Sunday afternoon or in the car on a weekend drive.

Through the suggestion of a friend, I purchased this cd. The only way I can describe this music is delicate,heartfelt,and the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Normally, I am a die-hard rock and roller, but this cd has really expanded my musical preferences.

I simply never tire of this album. I wore out my vinyl copy; now I'll wear out the CD, if that's possible. Trad Irish music just doesn't get better than this.

They play traditional Irish music as it should be played. They have inspired me to play the mandolin(more accurately to try to play the mandolin)

I'd heard of Planxty, but not heard them. They were brilliant

What a stunning collection of tracks from one of the most celebrated exponents of Irish music. Each track is a gem but for me the two exceptional stand out tracks are: ' The Lakes of Pontchartrain' and the achingly beautiful ' As I Roved Out'. If your into folk music then this disc has to be part of your collection until you are able to buy each individual CD. Some of Irish folk music's finest moments without doubt.

So loved this great sound .....

Present for the wife who had the LP when we were courting 37 years ago. As good as ever although without the snogging that used to occur when the LP was played.

Good CD, delivered early

Das digitalisieren meiner Schallplatte mit Gebrauchsspuren war zwar erfolgreich, aber das Knistern und leichte Rauschen war auf Dauer doch etwas störend. Nun habe ich die CD-Version zusätzlich und bin sehr begeistert davon.

I bought this album as an LP many moons ago but have been unable to play it for ages as I no longer have a turntable. Whilst rummaging through my old LPs I came across the album and decided to see if it was available on CD. I've now received the CD and have played it non-stop several times. This is Irish folk music by some of its greatest exponents, all in their prime. It sounds as fresh and energetic as when I first heard it. My particular favourites are Raggle Taggle Gypsy, As I Roved Out and Cliffs of Dooneen - but they're all great. In the words of the girl who stood weeping in the foyer of the Shaftesbury Theatre, realising that this was Planxty's final tour, "We'll never see their like again".

C'est bon de retrouver ce très grand classique de la musique irlandaise; mon vinyle craquait un peu...Je me procure la collection !

C'est eux qui m'ont fait le plus aimé la musique IRLANDAISE Trad, il y a 45 ans.Et je les écoute toujours avec le même plaisir.Ce sont d'exellents musiciens.Je recommande leur dernier Disque Concert 2004.Ils sont meilleurs que jamais !Dans un style vraiment FOLK,ils sont formidable.

Replacement of a lost CD (lost at home) - It is identical and therefore what I expected. Very happy with it. Lovet he music of Planxty.

Top Class. Thanks. RK

Bought for hubby to replace an old cassette, excellent quality and brings back memories of time spent with friends in the 70's :-)

i have been a fan of planxty for nearly 20years

Poor quality audio. Had to be returned.
