Scope and content
This tape had been made for Jimmy O'Brien Moran by Breandan Breathnach; the content that Breathnach intended for O'Brien Moran is that on tracks 1–16. That material was recorded @ 3 3/4 ips in quarter-track format, and thus appears on bands one and four of the tape. However, the tape had previously contained other material, recorded in half-track format at 3 3/4 ips and 1 7/8ips. This meant that some of this earlier material is now playable only backwards and at different speeds on the tape.

Notes:
1961 [Original recording dubbed on tracks 1-15]
December 1972 [Original recording dubbed on track 16]
This tape was loaned by Jimmy O'Brien-Moran in May 2005. The tape had been made for him by Breandan Breathnach; the content that BB intended for J O'B-M was that on tracks 1-16. That material was recorded @ 3 3/4 ips in quarter-track format, and thus appears on bands one and four of the tape. However, the tape had previously contained other material, recorded in half-track format at 3 3/4 ips and 1 7/8ips. This meant that some of this earlier material is now playable only backwards and at different speeds on the tape. Facilities in the Pro Tools software have been used to regularise this situation on the digitised version. For details, see information for individual tracks.
Digitised and catalogued by Jackie Small, May 2005.
Imported from Reeldubs July 2013
