Dubliners Compilation - Help Please
12 Answers
I've been asked to get someone a Dubliners Compilation - "cheap but reasonably comprehensive" would seem to be the brief.
It's well outside my comfort zone in terms of specialist knowledge - I like their music, but haven't paid much attention to them in the past.
The problem is that (when searching Amazon), there are just so many different compilations available - always the case when a band has considerable longevity and several label changes along the way.
I'm very wary of the "recorded live by a bloke with a big beard who used to be in the band for two weeks in 1963" offerings, but even the kosher ones seem to attract very varied reviews according to the degree of authenticity and quality of recordings.
So - some help to find a good 'un please - preferably with a link to the actual disc on Amazon (or elsewhere) since there are eleventy billion CDs called "Dubliners Greatest Best Special History Box" or similar ...

Not with me they haven't - nor with Talbot.
He was suggesting a quick perusal of youtube to preview the various recordings to identify one to buy - not to download and keep music 'for free'.
Downloading and burning music to CD from youtube is every bit as much theft as limewire was - I didn't do that & I don't steal music from youtube now - it's exactly the same as stealing from a shop, which I don't do either.
