I was digging through some records and rediscovered a couple Delia Murphy records on the HMV label pressed in Eire. I believe IM576 was her first recording and an original Eire pressing, too!
I posted videos of these songs to YouTube and was almost kicked off YouTube by the copyright police. Too bad, they're good tunes.

Re: Irish Ballads by Delia Murphy - "PRESSED IN EIRE"
Yes IM576 was her first recording, not "Spinning Wheel" as is often claimed.
Delia Murphy had a privileged upbringing. Her father Jack had emigrated to Canada and had struck it rich in the Klondyke gold rush. The local boy made good, he returned to Ireland and bought a country estate near his birthplace. Delia was university educated and married a diplomat who became the Irish Ambassador to London.
