Anybody have the Michael Coleman CD?

I posted this on the string forum, but have gotten no response. I’ll try here. “Michael Coleman 1891-1945” is the two-CD set I’m after.

Hopefully I am not breaking any rules by asking if anyone would like to trade me a copy of the Michael Coleman out-of-print CD for some out-of-print CD or record that I may have that of interest to them. John Doherty Bundle and Go or The Floating Bow perhaps? or some pipering/whistle CD’s from records like Brendan Keenan, Felix Doran, Tommy Reck, to name a few.

I’d really like to do some transcriptions of Michael Coleman’s playing. I could also trade transcriptions of Charlie Lennon’s playing, James Kelly’s playing, Paddy Canny, Tommy Peoples, Matt Molloy, Altan, Frankie Kennedy, Paddy Keenan, Brendan Keenan, Liam O’Flynn, Séamus Ennis, Neil Mulligan, Robbie Hannon, to name just a few.

I do not wany any money. Just an educational exchange.

Would anyone like to sell me one? Would anyone like to rent me one to transcribe from? Transcriptions will be returned w/CD. I am trying to study bowing styles of different regions and players. Here are some sample links to some of my fiddle transcriptions (in TIFF format. Print them out.) of what I will send you FOR FREE if I could just get or borrow a copy of that Michael Coleman CD from someone:

P.S. had an email that the TIFFs won’t open, so here are GIFs:

Umm, is this the one you’re looking for? Available from the Coleman Centre in County Sligo, Ireland?

Maybe it is. I’d need a track list. I will contact them, thanks. The one I’m looking for is a two-CD set called “Michael Coleman 1891-1945”

Here’s the main site, then: http://www.colemanirishmusic.com/

A review, here at

And apparently, the one you’re looking for was engineered by Harry Bradshaw (on his Viva Voce label) and distributed via Gael-Linn. Currently NOT available. Since Gael-Linn is working on re-releasing their back catalog, I wonder if they’ll get to this.

kkrell:
thank you for the info. I will check it out. Maybe it has different recordings than the one’s I’m looking for, but nonetheless probably precious and educational.

6

The TIFFs and GIFs are temporarily removed I will repost later so that anyone interested can print them. Probably tomorrow. I needed to make room for incoming data.

Are you looking for any particular tracks?

Peter:
yes. Duke Gordon, a.k.a. Lord Gordon. I play it on pipes w’straight eighths and I’d like to get more of Coleman’s swing (lilt) into it.

If you know how to send an mp3, I can receive it at (I’ll pm you)

If Michael Coleman died in 1945, are his traditional tunes not in the public domain now?

I think that in Ireland copyright is for life plus 70 years.

(yep, I was embararassed in the morning-- last night’s craic-on-oxycodone-induced message censored) (supplant your own emoticons) Not being able to play my pipes because of a pinched nerve gets really annoying, relegates my chops into the toilet, and induces an evil mood. Sorry, everyone. I’ve got copyrights too, but still freely trade notes, transcribed or composed, for knowledge. 50 years seems to be the international limit on postmortem copyright, though. At least that’s on my compositions, but I ain’t dead yet. maybe tomorrow w’this kind of pain. Coffee is nice w’a nice morning movie like AMELIE and a valium. Thanks for the replies. At least someone cares enough to be indifferent. Ha ha, ha ha ha. And love and thanks to Karina and Rick- no sarcasm here, you two.

Sheeite
Too late!
Thanks for the hads up, though.

Will keep an eye out for another one. It is a great double CD.

Oh, here’s another Michael Coleman CD on eBAY that I don’t have:

I offered Diggy a copy in exchange for the James “The Professor” Morrison collection, also issued by Viva Voce. This one never seems to come up on eBay. I’d appreciate it if anyone hears of this.

Thx,

The Morrison Viva Voce release is on cassette.

… but just as unavailable.
