Hi Elizabeth,

It is not recent, and it is on one of those albums to which the notorious Mr Bulmer has the rights and is making sure that no one is able to reissue them albeit he appears to have no interest in doing so himself. 'Cuilin' is on Al O'Donnell's first album: Al O'Donnell 'Al O'Donnell' Trailer LER 2073, recorded and produced by Bill Leader 1972. The version he does is from Dominic Behan with traditional tune. O'Donnell's brief note reads: 'This is Dominic Behan's interpretation of one of the classic Irish ballads. Ireland is symbolised here as a beautiful woman'.
