A STANDARD 2CD SET WITH 42 REMASTERED TRACKS, 30 OF WHICH HAVE HITHERTO BEEN UNRELEASED ON CD CONTRIBUTIONS FROM DÓNAL LUNNY, LIAM O’FLYNN, ANDY IRVINE, PAUL BRADY AND MARY BLACK  

When you have been turning out new music for nigh on six decades, whether performing solo, in seminal ensembles, exciting  collaborations or with esteemed accompanists, the back catalogue can sometimes become underappreciated or in Christy’s case, even  hard to find. Christy Moore has lived several music lives at this stage, an odyssey that has led as down as many backroads as it has the  motorways to mainstream fame and success, and it seems like on every aberration off the beaten track Christy has dropped gold. As  one of those rare artists who has somehow managed to remain relevant and socially pertinent to this day, you could forgive Christy for  forgetting where he buried the treasure. In the archives of Christy Moore’s history, beyond the multi-platinum albums and the big  songs that have sound-tracked a society, lay many dormant gems on dusty discs in lonely libraries. It was time to go looking for them,  to piece back the puzzle, to celebrate and appreciate those moments once again. Here, on this first ever comprehensive retrospective  of Christy’s early works, we find a selection of songs from Christy’s run of albums and live TV appearances from 1969 to 1981. Many of  these tracks have only ever been available on long-lost vinyl pressings or in the case of the RTÉ and BBC performances, they have, until  now, remained unreleased.
