Thin Lizzy was originally conceived as a power trio in the image of Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience, but Eric Bell lacked the charisma of those groups' guitarists, forcing vocalist/bassist Philip Lynott to take center stage from day one. Despite his already poetic, intensely personal lyrics, Lynott was only beginning to develop as a songwriter, and the band's unfocused, folk-infused early efforts are a far cry from their mid-'70s hard rock glory. Recorded on a shoestring budget, their self-titled debut is surprisingly mellow; many songs, such as "Clifton Grange Hotel" and "The Friendly Ranger of Clontarf Castle," sound confused and unfinished.

Bad Reputation is the eighth studio album by the Irish rock band Thin Lizzy, released in 1977. As the front cover suggests, most of the tracks feature only three-quarters of the band, with guitarist Brian Robertson only credited on three tracks. He had missed most of their previous tour, following a hand injury sustained in a brawl, and this album turned out to be his last studio effort with Thin Lizzy. Bad Reputation reached No. 4 in the UK Albums Chart.

36 tracks from guitar legends such as Eric Clapton, Dire Straits, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Roy Buchanan, Allman Brothers Band, B.B. King, Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Thin Lizzy, Ry Cooder, Chris Rea, Santana and more…

We are thrilled to announce the release of Thin Lizzy - Acoustic Sessions, a groundbreaking new frontline album that brings together the legendary voice of Philip Lynott, the masterful guitar work of founding member Eric Bell, and the powerful original drum takes of Brian Downey. This unique project offers fans a rare opportunity to experience Thin Lizzy's classic hits like never before, with Lynott's previously unheard vocal takes perfectly complemented by Bell's fresh acoustic arrangements and Downey's dynamic drumming. Drawing on material from the band's iconic Decca era, the album revisits tracks from Thin Lizzy's first three albums, presenting them in an intimate, stripped-down format that is sure to captivate both longtime fans and a new generation of listeners.

Thin Lizzy found their trademark twin-guitar sound on 1975's Fighting, but it was on its 1976 successor, Jailbreak, where the band truly took flight. Unlike the leap between Night Life and Fighting, there is not a great distance between Jailbreak and its predecessor. If anything, the album was more of a culmination of everything that came before, as Phil Lynott hit a peak as a songwriter just as guitarists Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson pioneered an intertwined, dual-lead guitar interplay that was one of the most distinctive sounds of '70s rock, and one of the most influential. Lynott no longer let Gorham and Robertson contribute individual songs – they co-wrote, but had no individual credits – which helps tighten up the album, giving it a cohesive personality, namely Lynott's rough rebel with a heart of a poet.

Limited two CD release, an exclusive live recording of legendary Irish Rock band, Thin Lizzy, performing at London's historic Shepherds Bush Empire on December 17th, 2012. Thin Lizzy delivered an electrifying and energetic performance that was echoed by their undeniable crowd support. This set features all the band's greatest hits spanning four decades and are the only recordings from their 2012 tour, after which they decided to retire the Thin Lizzy name.

Jailbreak was such a peak that it was inevitable that its follow-up would fall short in some fashion and Johnny the Fox, delivered the same year as its predecessor, did indeed pale in comparison. What's interesting about Johnny the Fox is that it's interesting, hardly a rote repetition of Jailbreak but instead an odd, fitfully successful evolution forward. All the same strengths are still here – the band still sounds as thunderous as a force of nature, Phil Lynott's writing is still graced with elegant turns of phrase, his singing is still soulful and seductive – but the group ramped up the inherent drama in Lynott's songs by pushing them toward an odd, half-baked concept album. There may be a story within Johnny the Fox – characters are introduced and brought back, at the very least – but it's impossible to tell. If the album only had an undercooked narrative and immediate songs, such digressions would be excusable, but the music is also a bit elliptical in spots, sometimes sounding theatrical, sometimes relying on narration.

100 tracks. Status Quo, Uriah Heep, Slade, The Allman Brothers Band, Thin Lizzy, The Guess Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Atomic Rooster, The Moody Blues, Steppenwolf, Blue Oyster Cult, Santana, Rainbow, Lou Reed, Kiss, Toto, Ted Nugent, Electric Light Orchestra, Iggy Pop, Rush, Motorhead, Cheap Trick, Judas Priest, REO Speedwagon, Yngwie Malmsteen, Soundgarden, Accept, Alice Cooper, Dio and more, and more…

DYNAMIC JAILBREAK TOUR BROADCASTING RECORDING FROM 1976 Formed in Dublin in 1969 by Brian Downey and Phil Lynott, Thin Lizzy first hit big in 1972, when their single Whiskey In The Jar topped the Irish chart and reached No. 6 in the UK. The band s real commercial breakthrough, however, came in March 1976 when their Jailbreak album, and its accompanying singles, The Boys Are Back In Town and the title track, all garnered huge radio play and sold well worldwide. Having just concluded a short UK tour supported by Graham Parker & The Rumour, in early April 76, Thin Lizzy travelled to the US for their first American tour. One of the finest shows on this jaunt came on 21st of the month when the group performed at Chicago s Riviera Theatre. Recorded for live radio broadcast by local station WXRT-FM, and supported by England s Be Bop Deluxe, the show was a dazzling success for Lizzy when the band performed cuts from the new record alongside many choice numbers from their back catalogue. Previously unreleased, the entire recording is now featured on this superb CD, which illustrates what an exceptional group Thin Lizzy already were at the beginning of their most potent era.

The Peel Sessions is an album by Irish band Thin Lizzy, released in 1994. This album consists of a series of recordings made for BBC Radio 1, and originally broadcast on the John Peel show. The Peel Sessions features raw and wild versions of great Lizzy songs that provide a great historical overview of the band's development.

Going by this album, Phil Lynott would have had a lot in common with Bob Geldof, with both of them writing songs that strove for memorable hooks and related to growing up in the rough end of Ireland. The Philip Lynott Album has some surprisingly sweet moments, considering Lynott's hard-rocking past with Thin Lizzy. It generated a bona fide European pop hit in a remodeled version of "Yellow Pearl" (co-written by Midge Ure of Ultravox), a sarcastic attack on Asian marketing methods.

Solo in Soho is the first solo album by Philip Lynott, released while he was still in Thin Lizzy. Current and former Lizzy members guested on the album including Scott Gorham, Brian Downey, Snowy White, and Gary Moore. Brian Robertson also contributed to the writing of "Girls". "Tattoo (Giving It All Up for Love)" was covered by Huey Lewis and the News on their sophomore album, Picture This. Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler plays on "King's Call", a lament to Elvis Presley. Huey Lewis plays harmonica on "Tattoo (Giving It All Up For Love)" and "Ode To A Black Man". Lewis later covered the former on his 1982 album, Picture This.

Both Johnny the Fox and Jailbreak were released in 1976 and are seen as the definitive Thin Lizzy studio albums featuring such hits as The Boys Are Back In Town, Jailbreak, Warriors, and Cowboy Song.
Jailbreak was released in March 1976 and was seen as the bands breakthrough album in America reaching number 18 in the Billboard charts and was a top ten record in the UK. Johnny The Fox was recorded in the same year and was released in October 1976 to critical acclaim and got to no 11 in the UK charts.
1976 is a new compilation box set containing the two versions of both albums, the original form and a new stereo mix by Richard Whittaker as overseen by guitarist Scott Gorham and mastered by Andy Pearce. The other discs contain unreleased mixes from the bands vault, radio sessions, and an unreleased show from Cleveland…
