The Boys Are Back in Town: Universal to Release Expanded Thin Lizzy LPs Abroad

November 10, 2010 By Mike Duquette 5 Comments

Here's some good news to follow the long-gestating, recent expansion of Thin Lizzy's Vagabonds of the Western World: three - count 'em, three! - of the band's albums are getting the deluxe treatment from Universal in the U.K., according to Classic Rock.

Double-disc editions of the 1976 albums Jailbreak and Johnny the Fox will be released, as well as a two-CD/one-DVD edition of Live and Dangerous (1978). Remastering is being overseen by Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham (who's about to take the band on tour next year, in spite of the fact that iconic vocalist/bassist Phil Lynott has been deceased since 1986) as well as Joe Elliott. (Yes, the Def Leppard frontman.) Expect each of them in shops on January 24.

    I was never a huge TL fan, but am a big fan of the L&D album, despite the fact that is has been overdubbed ad infinitum (this confirmed by original producer Tony Visconti). The remastering seems like a way to simply jack up the price of this set. It fit on a single cd in it's current incarnation; they add two new songs to bump it to a double set, throw in a DVD you can already get stand alone (and if you're a fan, you already have) - this is a cash grab. The other 2 remasters are better deals, with bonus tracks to further entice you. Nevertheless, it is great news that such a worthy band is getting some long overdue LOVE!

    Thin Lizzy are one of my favorite bands ever and to see this classic lineup of Phil Lynott, Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson and Brian Downey get a deluxe treatment is a thrill. I just hope there are plans for future deluxe editions of Black Rose, Renegade and Thunder and Lightning.

      I just put in my order for these sets and I cannot wait to get them! I was previewing the bonus disc of Jailbreak on Amazon and they sound great.

        I just received my Deluxe editions of the Thin Lizzy classics from Amazon.co.uk and the packaging blows me away. And it is nice to see that RockCandy records had some involvement with the reissues because they should be a label of note for this website. I will give them a listen and give a full report later on today!
