All releases with the McGarrigles as guest artists
This page collects all the releases that
feature the McGarrigles as guest artists. Often simply adding backing vocals but
occasional instrumentation as well. The date on the left represents a recording date
(although this is almost always an approximation which appears in the form
19xx.00.00); the date on the right a release date.There are complications
introduced by compilation CDs like Odditties and House of
Rufuswhich contain material from various years - rather than distribute the
contents out as individual tracks they have been left in situ and added
at the end of this page. However, reference to those individual tracks has been
made in appropriate pages.
Brief details regarding McGarrigle
participation are given for guest appearances but not for entries which feature
their own albums etc. More precise details
regarding each of the entries below may be accessed by clicking on the
album image.
