Buried Treasure is a new music book about forgotten, overlooked and uncelebrated albums from all genres of music.
Half of the book was written by RTE radio DJ Dan Hegarty with contributions from the likes of Annie Mac, James Vincent McMorrow, Dave Fanning, Scroobius Pip, Glen Hansard, Aidan Gillen, Cathal Pendred, John Kelly, Cillian Murphy, Aisling Bea and Larry Gogan among many others.
The book is a great resource for picking out albums to listen to on Spotify and receiving context as you listen.
Each pick is accompanied by a bit by someone involved in the album. I picked Death In Vegas’ The Contino Sessions and it was a nice surprise to see Richard Fearless expound about the album on the same pages.
The book is released by Liberties Press and is out now. Buy it direct from the publishers.

Sounds like a greta book but 7 euro shipping within Ireland? No thanks
You can buy it in the shops too of course.
Hi Phil, the €7 charge is the exact price it costs us to send, in postage. Sorry about that. However, we’ve now capped the postage charge to €5 – a slightly better option!

Had a glance through it in Easons.Had high hopes for it but theres way too much emphasis on Irish acts from the last 15 years or so.(anything by Gen Hansard can stay forgotten as far as I’m concerned)And a lot of the albums featured could in no way be described as forgotten or overlooked.
