Dublin Records
Originally established by Paddy
Killoran and accordionist John O’Neill in New York City in the 1950s, this
label has recently become active again. I am indebted to John Cummins for
supplying the information below and providing much of the discography’s
details. Thanks also to Noel Roche for identifying the Betty O’Kelly LP.
Dublin
Records was located at Woodside, New York and the driving force behind the
label was James (Jim) O'Neill. James and brother John were from
Labasheeda, Co. Clare and emigrated to New York. Both brothers made
albums for the label. The label commenced operations in 1958 and seems to have disappeared by about 1966.
Apart
from LPs, singles were also produced – usually a couple of titles from each LP
and some from tapes not yet issued as LPs. The singles appeared on the
Dublin label and Dublin's Hillside label. These singles were mainly
intended for juke boxes which were installed in many Irish venues in New York.
In
correspondence James O'Neill mentioned that he had many more tapes of Irish
artists and bands that were never released as LPs and there were plans for
recording a number of the great Irish
musicians in London at the time.
After
disappearing in about 1966 Shamrock Souvenir Records of Monaghan took over the label in 1969/1970 and the Dublin
LPs re-appeared in new covers mostly on the Harp label. In some instances
the existing Dublin album covers were used with a Harp sticker placed on them. Shamrock
issued a number of the Dublin singles as either 7” 45s or EPs and the
O'Neill Brothers who were not issued on LPs appear on these.
The
three re-released Dublin LPs on the list are distributed by Rego records once
owned by accordionist Paddy Noonan but now part of the
Irish Music Corporation of Green Isle, New York. The Corporation claims to have all the Dublin original master tapes.
The
complete discography is shown below and also the
Shamrock
Souvenir Records numbers. Sometimes the
wording of
the albums varies very slightly from the original Dublin
titles.
