THIN LIZZY by THIN LIZZY

Vinyl only re-release of Thin Lizzy's sametitled album!When scrolling down a list of debut LPs by rock�s heaviest hitters, Thin Lizzy is as unheralded as they come. Long before the group�s trademark �twin-guitar� sound was born and anthems like �The Boys Are Back In Town� became instant hall-of-fame material, the street tough Irish group was a dynamic power trio consisting of guitarist Eric Bell, singing bass player Philip Lynott, and sticksman Brian Downey. Forming only a year before their monumental signing to world-famous Decca Records, Thin Lizzy fused folk, hard rock, lyrical poetry, and a dose of Celtic lore in a heady brew that despite its potency, sold poorly at the time of release. �Honesty Is No Excuse,� �Look What The Wind Blew In,� and �Return Of The Farmer�s Son� are certified underground classics making original Decca copies of the album a collector�s prize. Rich in vibe and vibrations, this is the type of record one hangs onto. Now is your chance to enjoy this crucial music at a reasonable price. To sweeten the pot, the lowdown is as follows: Original master tape transfer and re-mastering by Dave Cooley (Elysian Masters), 180-gram virgin black vinyl, original album art reproduction, extensive liner notes by reissue producer Kevin �Sipreano� Howes (Jamaica-Toronto series, Rodriguez Cold Fact and Coming From Reality, Monks, Mowest anthology) featuring an in-depth late 2011 interview with Eric Bell, and unseen archival imagery. It�s funny how 1971 can sound so contemporary, a testament to the music, power, strength, feeling, and sensitivity of Thin Lizzy, three out-of-their-heads Dublin rockers who gave their heart and soul for a monster dose of rock and roll, influencing thousands upon thousands right up to the present.
