Paddy on the Road is the debut album by Irish folk musician Christy Moore, released in 1969.[1] The album was produced and co-written by Dominic Behan.[2] Steve Benbow organised the backing musicians and was responsible for the arrangements and conducting.
Although issued on a major label, Mercury Records, only 500 copies were pressed of the original 1969 issue.[3]
The song "Marrow Bones" is also known as "Tippin' It Up (to Nancy)".
Christy Moore has printed up a limited number of CD copies that, as of October 2010, are for sale at his gigs and his website.
In 2016, the album was re-released on vinyl for Record Store Day in the UK and Ireland, however the recording of this LP appears to be identical to the CD copy, which was a poor, non studio quality transcription of an original 1969 vinyl source and not from a master recording.
