Irish Album Charts 1993

[beatlened]

Loving all these
So hard to find info for Irish album charts.

When did they start irish album charts?

There were album charts at least back as far as 1975 see here :- viewtopic.php?p=3960191#p3960191

There probably were album charts before that. Slade's wikipedia page says that the "Slayed?" album reached #1 in Ireland in 1973. But I haven't seen the charts from that time anywhere
