The Young Ulsterman is the ninth comedy album released by Northern Irish comedian and actor James Young. It was Young's final album to be released before his death in 1975. However, further albums would be released posthumously.
With his return to a mixture of sketches and serious monologues in his previous album, Young again followed that format with his ninth album. Unlike any of his previous albums, however, Young was joined by a cast of supporting players.
Emerald Music re-released the album in 1999 in a four-disc boxset to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Young's death. The album was boxed with three of Young's other comedy albums (Very Much Live In Canada, Behind the Barricades and Young and Foolish). The album was marketed as James Young: Ireland's Greatest Comic Legend Volume 1.[1]
