This album also included five previously unreleased tracks by
Planxty, Moore and
Andy Irvine. Two of these, Irvine's "
The Bonny Light Horseman"[3]: 50–51 and a set of
reels by Planxty, "Lord McDonald/The Chattering Magpie", were added later on to the CD version of After The Break.[4]
"General Monroe",[3]: 53–55 a traditional song re-arranged by Irvine in duet with
Dónal Lunny, about
Henry Munro who led the insurgents of
County Down in the
1798 rebellion and who, defeated at the
battle of Ballynahinch on 13 June of that year, was hanged in front of his house three days later.
This song was never re-released on CD.
"First Slip/Hardyman The Fiddler A&B/The Yellow Wattle", a set of jigs by Planxty, including
Matt Molloy; this was never re-released either.
"
John of Dreams", a ballad by Moore, which was later re-released on the CD version of The Iron Behind the Velvet under the slightly different title of "John O'Dreams".
