LP - Limited Edition 140g 'Winter White' Colour Vinyl housed in a Gatefold Sleeve (2025 Reissue). 

"Knowing it would take us over a year to write The Book of Invasions, we had the perfect opportunity to record an acoustic album of personal favourites, something we’d always hoped to do at some stage. While it would be probably the first time a rock band recorded an “unplugged” album, we thought to give it a unique twist by making it a seasonal record. Everyone in the band had fun suggesting tunes and songs and it was a joy to hear the arrangements take shape.

Getting back to Trend Studios in Dublin, where we’d recorded our first demos and early singles, and work again with larger than life studio engineer Fred Meijer, was another important milestone. The album was well received and impressive sales meant that Barry and I had to fly from London mid-tour to attend an event and collect a gold album on behalf of the band. There’s a curious timeless quality to the record that befits a true labour of love."

- Horslips' drummer Eamon Carr
