Well, I knew there was something amiss here, and like all huge glaring
errors, it was damn near impossible to find except by accident...
Take a look at the next to last page of the TSW booklet.

THE IRISH SESSIONS
Engineered by Andrew Boland
Assisted by John Grimes
Recorded at Windmill Lane Studio, Dublin

remarkable tone, but it certainly sets it "apart" from the rest of the
