1977 collection of rarities and previously unreleased material from '71 - 74. Beautifuuly remastered with improved sleeve notes this is an essential purchase for any fan.
1975 album that took a more progressive stance than its predecessors, still maintaining the Celtic/Irish feel, but hiding it more beneath the more up-to-date musical prowess. Some excellent long tracks here with great guitar work.
Perhaps the best known of the Irish bands' albums, this 1973 release was a concept album, detailing one of ancient Erin's most famous folk tales. Combining mournful traditional Celtic music with long haired rock was a masterstroke which can be heard to fine effect on this reissue. An album that appeals to folk rock and progressive rock fans alike.
Formed in Dublin in 1970, Horslips might be best compared to Fairport Convention in the early days but with an Irish folk edge and a real rock and roll spirit. This awesome 29 track 2 CD set includes highlights from their eight celebrated studio albums and is the ideal introduction to Horslips' own particular brand of 'Celt-rock-prog-folk'. It comes fully endowed with detailed annotation and lavish packaging.
1979's Short Stories...saw Horslips move in more of a New Wave/rock direction with some elements of their original sound. Very much a product of the time it's an album that certainly has a more commercial edge. Remastered edition
Region 0, PAL. What can you say about Horslips? Well you can say this. They came among us, when our need was greatest, with their thigh length boots, electric fiddles, smoke machines andcoloured lights and, most importantly, their thumping, electrifying Celtic Rock, and they gave us a glimpse at an Ireland that didn't actually exist yet. The Ireland they came from looked a good deal more exciting and colorful than the one its population lived in, and a lot more like the Ireland everyone really wanted. They weren't actually around for that long, just about a decade give or take, but they were a busy bunch of mustachioed men. For the 10 years that was the 70s, Horslips ploughed their very unique musical furrow from their home base in Ireland into mainland Europe and on into America. In an eight year period from 1972 to their last show in 1980, when Charles O' Connor's fiddle spun hypnotically through the spotlights in the Kings Hall, they had produced a staggering 12 albums and performed live over 2000 times. This is a film about that journey. In March of 2004 Horslips, perhaps the seminal Irish rock band, left Dublin by bus, travelled north & took to the stage in the Orchard Gallery in Derry where they played together for the first time in 24 years. This is a film about that journey. PACKAGE: a Deluxe (2 x ) DVD box-set presentation with full-colour 24 page booklet.

1974 album from this Irish/Celtic rock band that managed to competently combine traditional Irish jigs and airs with contemporary guitar based rock music.
