Congratulations on a great album . Wonderful to see Rory's talent alive and strong. most tracks bring me back to the wonderful occasions, here in Cork, when Rory's tour came to his hometown. He deserves to be remembered, not just for his talent and brilliance, but also for his wonderful humanity and humility. Long may we remember him. Thanks again. Greetings from Cork Ireland

Daniel, you've done a wonderful job putting this together so a big, heartfelt thanks for doing it! I got to see him on the following tours after1977 and Calling Card was and remains my favorite, so great to hear tracks from it in live versions. Would be possible to see a list of what Rory's vinyl collection contained ? And also his book library?

I am forever grateful to Daniel and Donal for reissuing Rory's catalogue. I never got to see Rory perform live so having these albums like Check Shirt Wizard with live tracks means the world to be able to hear the live energy of the performance. Rory was a brilliant artist in all areas, guitar, songwriting and vocals. It is wonderful to see him introduced to a contemporary audience and to be so appreciated. A millions thanks !!

[@peterkabrna]

Happy.the new albums out. Wished they'd have put a track on from Manchester. First time of about 16 times I saw him

[@SpacestationWilly]

Nik badaukat album hau: oso-oso ona da. Oso ondo entzuten da eta zoragarria da. Jarrai ezazue Rory-ren grabazio gehiago argitaratzen. 80ko zuzenekoren bat argitaratzea eskatuko nizueke atrebentzia gehiegi ez bada. Gora Rory eta bere familia.
