I am enjoying this record. Fun music and very good sounding. The sound is well above avg for being recorded in a radio station. Great music for punk Irish music fans.

Streams of Whiskey is not a traditional song. That first track is miscredited.

I think this record is cut very shallow. The slightest movement and the stylus jumps grooves. The record sounds great all in all, clean, no surface noise or pops.
