Fifty years after their debut on vinyl, Horslips take one more curtain call as they emerge with the July 2022 release More Than You Can Chew – the ultimate collection of their recorded work, spanning more than 500 audio tracks on a staggering 33 CDs and 2 DVDs of filmed performances. In all, that’s over 20 hours of previously unreleased band-related content.

* 33 CDs with 506 audio tracks – 252 of which (16 hours) are previously unreleased

* 2 DVDs with 60 video tracks and 2 documentaries – 43 of which (4.5 hours) are previously unreleased

* 2 books – On The Record (a lavish new recording history of Horslips) and Lyricography

* 5 Signed vintage 8 x 10 photos

* A collection of fan club facsimiles from the ’70s and a National Stadium, Dublin 1972 poster 

On St. Patrick’s day 1972, Horslips released their debut single, ‘Johnny’s Wedding’ – inventing Celtic Rock in a single bound. 50 years later, Madfish are delighted to announce that they are releasing (*D2C) More Than You Can Chew – a stunning 35 disc box set overflowing with music, film and printed matter encapsulating their entire career.

The set has been curated by Bert Jansch/John McLaughlin biographer (and longstanding Horslips fan) Colin Harper in close collaboration with the band members. The audio, including most of the film audio, has been restored and (re)mastered by IFTA award-winning engineer Cormac O’Kane. Herculean Horslips biographer Mark Cunningham has written the books, with fresh input from the band, and, wearing his day-job designer hat, has lovingly designed the set under the oversight of Horslips’ de facto Art Director Charles O’Connor.

In addition to the previously unreleased content, More Than You Can Chew includes two albums new to any digital medium: Tryal (1983) by The Host (a post-Horslips band featuring Eamon, Johnny and Charles) and breaking star codes (1983) by Barry Devlin.
