Miscellaneous rare releases…
Below are some of the more desirable CBTM (related) items, not listed on the previous pages.
The World of Folk Music, Starring Oscar Brand: 1963 - Show #66 & 1964 - Show #143
Oscar Brand w/Paddy, Tom, Liam Clancy & Tommy Makem
These recordings are at the very top of the hard to find list.
Bringing Home the Oil: 1969
To my knowledge, there is not an offical recording of this song, from a 1969 Gulf commercial on NBC—sung by CBTM. The lyrics were written by Tommy Makem, to the tune of the "Gallant Forty-Twa".
In Person At Carnegie Hall (original back sleeve)
1963 - Columbia CL 1950 (mono) & CS 8750 (stereo) LP
Apparently, this album was originally planned to be released with different songs. While that version was never released, there are copies in existence with the original back sleeve, reflecting what those songs were intended to be, and with the original sleeve notes of the songs. My thanks to Bill Jantz for supplying this information.
Liam Clancy
Kerrygold Cheddar Cheese: 1975 (circa)
This is a special edition promotional 45 release taken from a radio advertising campaign—featuring Liam. Cover provided by Bill Jantz.
