Thin Lizzy, with a comfortable draw of influences, led the charts with a series of singles and albums. Their stage shows were legendary and immensely satisfying experiences. With Phil Lynott as the front-leader, the band created a legacy that is still appreciated to this day. Their breakout was with the excellent “Whisky In The Jar” single. But it wasn’t until their “The Boys Are Back in Town” single from the best-selling Jailbreak album (1975), which also yielded “Jailbreak”, and “Cowboy Song” as hit singles, that the band became a world-wide sensation. Among their studio albums, Thin Lizzy released Live And Dangerous, a multi-million selling 17 performance track classic often referred to as one of the greatest live albums in release.
On January 20 of 2023, a whopping 8CD Box will be released featuring the original 1978 2LP Live And Dangerous set, which will be newly remastered for this package, alongside all the performances that have been recorded over a period of two years from two tours (Johnny the Fox, Bad Reputation) and that culminated in the original release. There were six superior shows that allowed for the cherry-picked tracks that ended up being included on Live And Dangerous. Here, you will hear them all in their power. The tracks not originally used have been newly mixed for this set.
A book filled with memorabilia, photos, notes, and more is packed within the 12″ x 12″ box.
But that’s actually not the only Thin Lizzy release on the board, On January 20, UMe will also release a 2CD 40th Anniversary set of Life, the 19-track with the cleverly designed Life/Live graphic from 1983. This super rare reissue will only be reissued with 50 copies (yes, 50!) available. Currently, there are only 32 copies left. (Jump on THAT here!)
[Note: This is the EXACT kind of reissue and packaging approach that I want for Wishbone Ash – Live Dates! Take notice, Universal Music…or anyone with the means to put it together!)
