Universal Music presents a new box set celebrating the debut album of Thin Lizzyfeaturing previously unreleased tracks, BBC sessions, rarities and new remixes in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 and stereo.

Originally released on April 30, 1971, the debut album by Thin Lizzy in original formation with Philip Lynott (bass and vocals), Eric Bell (guitar) e Brian Downey (drums), was followed by the EP “New Day” in August 1971. Both are featured on the 3CD and 1Blu-ray set, along with non-album tracks, outtakes, BBC sessions and new mixes. All presented, as in previous boxsets dedicated to Thin Lizzyin a 25x25cm package which also includes a 40-page booklet. “Thin Lizzy” it will also be available in a 4-LP box set and as a double LP with colored vinyl.

THE Thin Lizzy they held their first concert on February 13, 1970; the exact location remains a matter of dispute between the band and their first manager, but one thing is certain: it was in Dublin. Within a few months, the band released their debut single “The Farmer” for Parlophone, a copy in perfect condition can now fetch up to £1,000. After a concert in November 1970, the band received a record offer from Decca Records and the following February were already in London to record their first album with the producers Scott English And Nick Tauber. While traveling to London, Philip Lynott encounter John Peelwho, a few months later, would give the band an appearance on his show on BBC Radio 1 and remain a supporter for years to come.

The album was not very successful upon release, but the band did not give up and released the EP “New Day”this time produced by Tauber alone, in August of the same year. The band only achieved chart success at the end of 1972 with their rendition of “Whiskey In The Jar”a song that would haunt them for the rest of their career, but this 3-CD/Blu-Ray/4-LP set shows the fledgling band’s first steps on the road to stardom.

These deluxe CD and LP editions celebrating the 55th anniversary of the debut album Thin Lizzyinclude rarities, BBC sessions and previously unreleased music. The digital version will also offer Dolby Atmos for the first time. Richard Whittaker has made a new stereo mix of the album, included on the CD and 2LP vinyl version.
