- Ahoy, Serge!
- I have had a heck of a time finding stores that stock their albums, but I
- shouldn't complain because they're bound to exist here in D/FW.
-
- The album _Past Present_, a compilation album from RCA, lists a partial
- discography, but apparently only the titles available from RCA. On that sleeve
- they list:
- _Magical Ring_ - 1982
- _Atlantic Realm_ -
- _Legend_ -1984 (some of this is soundtrack for the BBC's _Robin Hood_)
- _Macalla_ - 1985
- _Sirius_ - 1987
-
- However, on the album _Clannad 2_, (which has a picture on the cover which
- obviously predates all the albums I've found), there is a disjoint set of
- albums listed on their catalog. These are on the "Shanachie" label:
-
- _Clannad 2_ - 19?? (SH79007) This was reissued in 1988, but obviously
- predates "Macalla", the earliest I've
- found.
- _Dulaman_ (SH79008)
- _In Concert_ (SH79030)
- _Crann Ull_ (SH/TA 3007)
-
- I have a suspicion that all four of these predate 1982, and it may be the
- case that Shanachie has the distribution rights (US) for the stuff that
- predates RCA's involvement. Be aware that this is only a guess on my part!
-
- Also, don't miss out on Maire Brennan's solo album (quite good, IMHO)
- that was recently released! It's simply titled, _Maire_.
-
- Also, I've noticed that some music stores are filing Clannad under "Rock"
- while other stores (sometimes in the same chain) are filing them under
- "Regional - Irish". Sheesh! I'll even bet someone has them filed under
- "New Age". Good luck finding them. I also hear they've put out a good
- number of home-release videos, but I have not found any, yet.
-
- Good luck!
