From Loudersound.
Celebrating 50 years of Thin Lizzy, and compiled by Thin Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham and Lizzy expert Nick Sharp, Rock Legends is a six CD/single DVD box set featuring a total of 99 tracks, 74 of which are unreleased, taking in demos, radio sessions, live recordings and rare single edits.
In August, Universal shared a previously unreleased version of Lizzy’s Chinatown album track Sugar Blues, recorded at Good Earth Studios in London’s Soho on July 7, 1980, with significant changes to the guitar phrasing and solos and Phil Lynott’s lyrics still incomplete. Now they’ve revealed what other treats lie in store.
