The Dubliners is the eponymous debut live album by the Irish folk band The Dubliners. It was produced by Nathan Joseph and released by Transatlantic Records in 1964. The line-up consisted of Ronnie Drew, Barney McKenna, Luke Kelly and Ciarán Bourke.
When Kelly died, the album title was changed to The Dubliners with Luke Kelly by the record company to spur sales of the reissue and underscore the magnitude of Kelly's contribution to the group.
The tune labelled "Swallow's Tail Reel" is a medley of "The Swallow Tail Reel" (O'Neill 536) and "The High Reel" (O'Neill 721), from O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland.
The tune labelled "The High Reel" is actually a medley of two different tunes. According to McKenna, the title of the first tune is "Códháirdeachais" (meaning "Congratulations" — this an old, pre-1948, spelling of the Irish word; the current spelling would be "Comhghairdeas") and the title of the second tune is "The Boyne Hunt" (O'Neill 514, Willie Clancy 142).
