Happy to Meet – Sorry to Part is the debut album by Irish folk rock band Horslips.

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.

[2] The original Irish and US vinyl releases feature a gatefold cover, the first side of which is die-cut to reproduce the lattice work of an English concertina.

The Irish and US releases use different front and rear photographs for the booklet, and a slightly different template for the die-cutting.

However, apart from Hall Of Mirrors, An Bratach Bán (The White Flag), Bím Istigh Ag Ól (I’m Inside Drinking) and Furniture, each track uses the traditional tune of the same name.
