"Happy to Meet - Sorry to Part" is the name of an album by Irish rock band Horslips. It was first released in Ireland by the end of 1972 as their debut album. Before this, they had released the same year three singles: "Johnny's Wedding/Flower amang Them All" and "Green Gravel/Fairy King" in Ireland and "The High Reel/Furniture" overseas. Happy to Meet - Sorry to Part was also released the following year in United Kingdom, Germany, France and United States. In 1978, the LP was re-released in UK together with "The High Reel", added as the last track.
This is widely considered to be the first celtic rock album ever recorded. With this, Horslips took the lead in Irish music of the time and created an original mixture from traditional Irish tunes and rock music. The album's name itself is that of an Irish jig.
