Hi Peter,

Unfortunately, almost all singles from Irish bands in the 70 and 80's promised a "forthcoming album," but few materialized as it was harder and harder to sell Irish pop singles and get airplay even on Radio2, unless they were hits like "Summer In Dublin" by Bagatelle. Lots of country and folk, but very few pop albums ever made it to release.

Of course, I could always be wrong but I don't remember any albums from pop bands in the early 80's and I worked in a record shop in Sligo. Perhaps, though someone else may have some better info. Hopefully we'll get some news from one of our members!
