Irish band Horslips have confirmed the upcoming release of a 35 disc box set, which explores the band’s entire career.
The box set will include 33 CDs and 2 DVDS, and will feature each studio album released by Horslips from their original era (1972-1980).
The box set will also feature RTE sessions, reunion-era albums, selected post Horslips adventures (solo albums for example), along with unreleased live tracsk and rehearsals.
Signed by all five band members, the box set features 250 unreleased tracks, along with a 200 page book. You can pre order this here.
