Release Date: 4th June 07 Label: UMTVAre You Ready for the definitive guide to the greatest rock band to ever come out of Ireland? Thin Lizzy Greatest Hits finally delivers a complete collection of absolutely everything the rock legends have offered us over the last 38 years, and is a must have for every Lizzy fan!Since forming in Dublin back in 1969 Thin Lizzy have achieved legendary status in classic rock circles, and their big hits The Boys Are Back In Town, Whisky In The Jar and Jailbreak are all featured on this unmissable compilation. The band were the pioneers of the hard rock scene in the 70s and 80s and hit the big time with frontman Phil Lynott’s unique songwriting style which combined straight down the line rock with hints of country and folk that are still popular today. Following the now celebrated farewell headline show at Dublin’s Slane Castle, Thin Lizzy disbanded with Lynott and now blues legend Gary Moore launching their own solo careers. For the first time a Lizzy collection brings together not only the band’s big hits, but a comprehensive look at the careers of all the members and ex-members. Lynotts unfortunate and untimely death in 1986 only serves as a sobering reminder of how important Thin Lizzy are to contemporary music today.Thin Lizzy Greatest Hits is of course the perfect Fathers Day gift and is guaranteed to get those air guitars in the air on June 17th. Along with the likes of Waiting For An Alibi and Killer On The Loose, two brand new live and previously unreleased versions of Thin Lizzy classics feature as bonus tracks. Thin Lizzy
