Tom Dunne: The Golden Horde and a lost album that's worth a fortune   

The brilliant Dublin band might have had a short lifespan, but their debut record is much sought-after on Discogs 
Tom Dunne: The Golden Horde and a lost album that's worth a fortune   

Simon Carmody and the Golden Horde.

Lost albums, what are they really? You say “lost” but it is streaming, and you can buy a deluxe vinyl online, with 632 previously unreleased demoes. Plus, the singer was in The Workman’s Club last week with merch. Hardly “lost” is it? You really mean “not talked about enough.”

But the Golden Horde’s self-titled debut? That is lost. You might find the occasional track streaming via a compilation album – mine, he said modestly – but the entire album? Forget it. It is not on any streaming service. It’s as if it never existed.
