Thin Lizzy is one of those iconic band’s who’ve been such a huge part of everyone’s lives for so long that it’s hard to realise that they only released 14 albums (two of them live) in a period from 1971-1983.Lizzy have left behind a spectacular series of songs and albums because of their desire to continuously challenge themselves. There was no style they wouldn’t tackle with each combination of talented guitarists like Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson who brought their own individuality to the band as well as fiery front man and songwriter supreme, Phil Lynott.This collection includes many of their hits including1973, Irish folk song ‘Whiskey In The Jar’ (#6 UK Chart ), and the 1975 anthem that surely defined the band, ‘The Boys Are Back In Town’, which got to #8 in the UK and #12 in America. You’ll also find ‘Waiting For An Alibi’ (#9 UK Chart), Killer On The Loose (#10 UK Chart) & ‘Dancin’ In the Moonlight’ (#14 UK Chart ).This compilation is a guide, no more, to the path along which Lizzy led us for over a decade. It should serve to whet appetites and sharpen adulation. It must also lead to you entering the wider world of Thin Lizzy, but essentially is a reminder of why we adore them.Sleeve notes by Malcolm Dome (Classic Rock)
