The following list is not complete but details the releases in other countries
Happy To Meet, Sorry To Part

Germany 1973 Atlantic ATL 50 019 diecut/shaped cover + different booklet

Ireland 80s? Horslips/Spartan MOO 3/STOAT-LP-1 shaped cover, no booklet
NOTE: When originally released in the UK in 1973 it did
not include "The High Reel". The album was the same as the Irish issue of
1972, with the exception that the pictures on the first and last page of
the booklet were different, and it had a credit to RCA as the distributers,
on the sleeve. "The High Reel" was added to the DJM re-issue in June 1978. The track was added to the album for the Atco issue and it is believed that *all* issues of the album except the original Irish pressing include it.

???? 1996 CD Horslips Collection
K-TEL 1997 CD Celtic Collections
Two LP's were evidently released in Ireland in 1983, but I unfortunately
cannot confirm their existence. They were :
Horslips History Vol 1: 1972 - 1975 (Label Unknown) Cat No: DATLP 001
Horslips History Vol 2: 1976 - 1980 (Label Unknown) Cat No: DATLP 002
Other UK LP's releases I know of:
1984 - Folk Collection - Label - Stoic, Cat No
- STILP 1001
1997 - Celtic Rock Volume 1 - Label - Outlet
1997 - Celtic Rock Volume 2- Label - Outlet
The last two were definitely released, but I have no specific information
on catalogue numbers. Vol 1 contained acoustic numbers, whilst
Vol 2 contained more rock orientated numbers.
