Just had a look at the details of the Horslips BBC set just posted on FB and I am underwhelmed. I love the More Than You Can Chew box and most of the extra discs in that box get played regularly, but most of this just doesn't seem all that special IMHO. What say the rest of you thinking about it?

I'm excited about it. I have never seen any of the material on the DVD or heard the early radio sessions & I don't have a physical copy of the concert with the orchestra (just a download) so I will be very happy to have all that stuff (though I concede the bonus audio disc is a slightly strange inclusion, more of an omission from the earlier box) and it is not overpriced for what it is, unlike some forthcoming box sets I could mention.

Fair enough! I would like the orchestra album for sure. Think I’ll wait to hear the reviews here though first!

I'm wondering what the Ulster mid of the show with the Ulster orchestra is going to add to the off air recordings and the CD of the event?
Most of the BBC in concert stuff is welcome but how much of the video will have already been available on  the " return of the dancehall sweethearts" dvd?I
Still, I'm getting it from Burning Shed who are currently the cheapest I've seen by about a fiver.
