Nowadays it's easy to listen to Celtic songs between streaming music, CDs and sites like YouTube.

But in the past it was harder to do so. In the 1990s, various CDs were released with famous @CelticFC songs.

This thread looks at some of those CDs.

The first CD release in the 1990s available in the @CelticFC shops (that I remember) was 'The Celtic Songs EP'.

Released in 1994, it featured four songs:

The Celtic Song
The Johnny Thompson Song
The Fields of Athenry
You'll Never Walk Alone

This CD was followed in 1995 by 'The 2nd Celtic Songs EP'.

This had the @CelticFC first team from different years (1964, 1970, 1977) singing songs:

Over and Over
Celtic are here
Celtic, Celtic

Jimmy Johnstone also sang 'Passing Time'.

Another @CelticFC CD from the 1990s was 'Echoes from the Jungle'.

Released during the 1995/96 season, this had numerous songs:

Hail Hail
Wild Rover
Dirty Old Town
Paradise
You'll Never Walk Alone
Celtic Symphony
Fields of Athenry
Celtic Medley

This @CelticFC 'Paolo di Canio versus Wullie Malloy' CD came in 1996.

It featured a strange disco song about Paolo di Canio (to the song D.I.S.C.O.).

It also had The Celtic Song, Holy Ground, Over & Over (an excellent version) and Celtic Celtic.

'Four Leaf Clover' was a CD released in June 1998.

By a group called The Peatdiggers, it included three songs about @CelticFC:

Four leaf clover
I wear my Hoops with pride
You'll Never Walk Alone in Paradise

And finally, another 1990s @CelticFC CD was 'Forever Celtic', out in 1998.

This was by a band called the Mourne Mountain Ramblers and had four songs:

Jackie
Jinky
Henrik
Hampden in the sun
