Subject: RE: Maire Ni Scolai
Regarding the vinyl long-playing album issued in 1971, here's what I have to work with.

There is a grand total of twenty-one songs on "Máire Ní Scolaí." Side One has twelve songs. Side Two has nine songs.

The conclusion to be drawn from the statements in the previous post:

The nine songs on Side Two were previously recorded for HMV at some time. Maybe these were 78 RPM??

The twelve songs on Side One came from the archives at RTÉ. This is outside my area of expertise. Live broadcasts? Pre-recorded? Not to mention, when?

So, through a page online (I don't have a copy of the vinyl album or its sleeve), I offer this listing of the songs by album sides, in order. (an EBay listing)

Side One, which will be the RTÉ archive source.
1. Sail Óg Rua
2. Seoladh Na nGamhna
3. Máire Ní Ghríofa
4. Go dtaga an Nollaig
5. An Droighneán Donn
6. Moll Dubh an Ghleanna
7. Bean an Fhir Rua
8. Una Bhán
9. Frinseach Tír Eoghain
10. Dónall Óg
11. Seoithín Seothó
12. an Clár Bog Déil


Side Two would be from HMV (His Master's Voice).
1. an Caisideach Bán
2. Caisleán Uí Néill
3. 's Oró Mhíle Ghrá
4. 'sé Fáth mo Bhuartha
5. an Sceilpín Droighneach
6. Oró mo Bháidín
7. Cuiachín Ghleann Neifín
8. Caoineach na dTrí Muire
9. Eibhlín a Rún
