    Which types of bagpipes???
    
    I haven't seen (yet) any CDs of Scottish pipe bands (though some might
    exist) but there are a number of CDs with either the Scottish,
    uillean or Northumbrian pipes as one of the instruments available. 
    
    Take a look in ESPN::FOLK_MUSIC.  Note #41 there is a note about
    folk CDs, including a number of reviews.
    
    Also, entering in all caps is considered shouting and bad notes
    etiquette.

1211.2A few titlesFULLER::MURRAYWed Jun 01 1988 10:508
    What a riot, I've been looking too. I don't know what you might
    be looking for, i.e. solo, band, mixed instrumental, but the
    Tannahill Weavers' last 2 albums are out on CD, and the Battlefield
    Band has one or two out, too. Both bands feature some solo piping,
    but mostly instrumental/vocal mixes, and all are excellent. These
    discs are available at Wood n' Strings in Arlington, MA, or by mail
    from a company I don't remember the name of, but have their catalog.
    Send me mail if you want more info.
1211.3oops, almost forgot the :^) !!!HAZEL::STARRYou grow up and you calm downWed Jun 01 1988 15:181
    Does AC/DC's "Long Way To The Top" count? 
1211.4COOKIE::ROLLOWAlan's Home for Wayward TumbleweedsWed Jun 01 1988 15:277
    I think this disc was mostly bagpipe.  In general look where
    they keep the folk music or "international" discs.

    re:.2
    
    The Tannahill Weavers' CD's, and a lot of other fine Celtic
    music, is on the Green Linnet label.
    
    Another Green Linnet CD with a fair amount of piping (though,
    like TTW, it's just one instrument in a band) is HARD TO BEAT
    by Rare Air.

1211.6Green Linnet @ Rockit RecordsHOONOO::PESENTIJPFri Jun 03 1988 05:576
I've seen several Green Linnet CDs at Rockit Records in Nashua, and bought 2.  
They are "The Best of De Dannan" (no pipes) and "The Flight of the Green 
Linnet" (some pipes).  The latter is a sampler of Green Linnet artists.

    To be nitpicky, though THE FLIGHT OF THE GREEN LINNET is a sampler
    of Green Linnet artists, it's actually a Rykodisc release rather
    than a Green Linnet one.

    I have seen CDs in Scottish-Irish Import shops, at Highland Games
    vendor boothes, and advertised in "The Highlander" magazine of Scottish
    Heritage.  It seems that there were not very many, but the ones
    I saw were on the LISMORE label, which puts out a lot of the
    traditional Scottish music on vinyl.
