Black Horse and vinyl release

Black Horse is the title of Shirwell Bancan’s curated anthology album — The Greatest Songs He Wrote in 45 Years. The name comes from the stage photograph that wraps the vinyl jacket: Shirwell on a rearing black horse, guitar lifted against gold curtains, capturing the showmanship that defines his live act.

The track list is deliberate, not a chronological dump. It opens with recent favourites such as Kissing and I Want to Run Away, moves through era-defining rock like Come on Babe (Version 2 — louder) and Baby Gonna Rock, and closes with dance-floor cuts including Lily the Dancing Machine and the Turbo Club Mix of Dancing Machine. Each song on the CD page has its own artwork tile so collectors can see how the visual identity changes track by track.

The vinyl run is limited. We press a finite number of LPs with the full-size poster art; when they are gone, the digital masters and CD art remain available here for reference and streaming. If you already own a copy, thank you — independent releases like this are funded directly by listeners rather than label advances.

Streaming and physical formats complement each other. Use the Music player for everyday listening; use the CD’s page to study the production history, release years, and art direction. Premium subscribers get early access to selected masters and bonus material as it is cleared for release.

Questions about shipping, regional availability, or wholesale orders should go through Contact. We do not sell through third-party marketplaces unless explicitly announced in a future issue.

Art direction for Black Horse was handled in-house: gold typography, high-contrast photography, and per-track CD panels that mirror the mood of each song. Collectors often frame the poster; streamers use the same art as player thumbnails. Both audiences are welcome.

Track notes for every album cut — including Hay girls guy voice and the three Glorious Days arrangements — are maintained on the Discography page and updated when new commentary is available from the studio.
