Northern Irish. As the scan above indicates, Malpad was a product of the Armagh Recording Company. It seems to have run to just the one issue, an EP by The Bridesmen which came out in 1975 and had a catalogue number of MP-1. In addition to the tracks shown, the EP offered 'The Ballad Of Tony Hughes' and 'The Ballad Of Jim McGerrigan', commemorating two IRA men who had been shot by members of the British armed forces in April a couple of years earlier. Thanks to Fokeman of the 45Cat site for permission to use his scan here.
