25th Anniversary (Wolfe Tones album)


The 25th Anniversary album is the fifteenth album by the Irish folk and rebel band The Wolfe Tones, released in 1989 by Shanachie Records. It is both a new studio album and a greatest hits release as it features both new recordings unique to this record and featuring recordings from previous albums. New recordings include "Broad Black Brimmer" with an electric guitar and drums played during the final verse, "James Connolly", "Banna Strand", "Monsignor Horan", and "Come Out Ye Black and Tans", among others.
This album was the last to feature founding member Derek Warfield prior to his departure in 2001; it was also the last album to be recorded until the same year due to contract issues.
