recordings completed during the sessions but excluded from the album were new versions of the singles "three drunken maidens" and "the cliffs of dooneen", as well as "when first unto this country" (sung by lunny) and the traditional southern appalachian song "down in the valley" featuring all members of the band, including o'flynn on vocal harmonies. the latter track has since been released on christy moore's 2004 box set.
