Thin Lizzy is an Irish rock band that was formed in Dublin in 1969. The band had various combinations of former members after the death of their founding member and frontman. Although they disbanded in 1983, Thin Lizzy reformed and continued to perform with different line-ups. Throughout their existence, they had several guitar players including well-known names such as Gary Moore and Snowy White. Drummer Brian Downey replaced a previous drummer for a few gigs, while keyboard players Eric Bell and Darren Wharton contributed to the band's recordings. The most famous and recognized line-up of Thin Lizzy was during the period from 1974 to 1978 with Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson on lead guitar. Currently, Scott Gorham and Ricky Warwick are touring under the name Thin Lizzy.

Back In Stock

Formed in Dublin in 1968 few would dispute that Thin Lizzy helped define the genre Hard Rock. The band scored 8 top 20 hits over 8 years and place no less than 8 albums in the UK top 20, 3 of which would make the top 10 and 4 the top 5. From the mid-70s onwards, they championed the use of two lead guitars, it gave them a unique sound which evolved down the years and influenced the likes of Def Leppard, Metallica and Iron Maiden. After numerous line-up changes, Thin Lizzy called time in 1983

With 1986 just 4 days young lead singer and main songwriter Phil Lynott died aged 36. All music’s John Dougan wrote, “As the band’s creative force, Lynott was a more insightful and intelligent writer than many of his ilk, preferring slice-of-life working-class dramas of love and hate influenced by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and virtually all of the Irish literary tradition.”

This 2-LP set contains all that is great about the band – the tracklisting overseen by Lizzy Expert Nick Sharp covers what is the best of the band’s output throughout the years.
