olivier64 a écrit :Les 2 livres sont des vrais biographies, précises sur toute l'histoire du groupe. Rien à avoir avec les bouquins de Martin Popoff si tu en as lu (aucun sur Thin Lizzy, mais j'ai ceux sur UFO et Rainbow).

Le bouquin de Mark Putterford détaille un peu plus l'enfance de Phil Lynott et les débuts du groupe que celui d'Alan Byrne. Mais les 2 sont excellents, les auteurs ont interviewé personnellement tous les protagonistes, et contiennent ce qu'il faut en anecdotes et détails sur la carrière du groupe.

Après une rapide recherche, tu peux les trouver pas cher du tout ici :
http://shop.ebay.fr/i.html?LH_TitleDesc ... t&_armm=63
et là http://shop.ebay.fr/i.html?_nkw=alan+by ... itleDesc=0.

Je te conseille plutôt celui de Mark Putterford, et en plus c'est largement le moins cher. :)
Le bouquin de Putterford a été édité en français chez Camion Blanc. Sinon, il existe également en anglais le livre de Philomena Lynott écrit en collaboration de Jackie Hayden intitulé My Boy. Cet ouvrage a d'ailleurs été réédité en 2011 avec des compléments d'information.

Les titres live de 1981 sur le CD bonus de Thunder auraient été plus appropriés sur la réédition de Renegade, puisque c'est Snowy White et non John Sykes qui joue dessus...

Je possède les Thin Lizzy de "Nightlife" à "Black Rose" (donc il me manque les 3 premiers et les 3 derniers du groupe), et d'après le sondage ce seraient donc "Renegade" et "Thunder and Lightning" qu'il faudrait que j'achète rapidement...

Je ne vote pas pour le moment donc, sinon ce serait "Jailbreak".

Clairement ! Un coffret pour fan ultime ! Je serais curieux d'y jeter une oreille, mais de là à l'acheter, non :lol:
Pourtant, la période Bad Reputation/Black Rose est celle que je préfère chez Thin Lizzy. J'ai découvert Bad Reputation assez tard, mais c'est devenu mon album préféré du groupe ! Le début avec Soldier of Fortune - Bad Reputation - Opium Trail et Southbound :amour: :amour: :amour: tout en groove et en finesse, c'est à chaque fois un régal pour les oreilles !

D'autres archives, cette fois de GRAND SLAM, l'éphémère groupe post-Thin Lizzy de Lynott :
Phil Lynott’s passing in 1986 was and is one of the great tragic losses of music history. A mere 36 years of age when he passed, Lynott founded and fronted one of the best rock bands of the ‘70s, Thin Lizzy, and was certainly the most popular rock singer to emerge from Dublin (prior to the Bono era). Although his struggles with substance abuse would profoundly shape his latter career, his artistic talent continued to shine through in his post-Thin Lizzy projects including the fledgling rock group that seemed to have the potential to overtake the great Lizzy, Grand Slam.

Lynott started working with Magnum keyboardist Mark Stanway as part of Lynott’s live solo band in 1983 and by 1984 would eventually solidify a line-up that included guitarist Laurence Archer, rhythm guitarist Doish Nagle, and drummer Robbie Brennan and change their name to Grand Slam. Although the group never issued an official studio album, they played numerous shows around Europe and cut a series of demos that proved Lynott still had incredible songs in him and a brilliant career ahead. Grand Slam songs such as “Sisters Of Mercy” and “Nineteen” were so good they eventually ended up on some posthumous Thin Lizzy albums.

Now those songs and those live performances have been remastered to their absolute best sonic quality and packaged in a deluxe 6CD box set to be released on June 9. Slam Anthems is a true treasure trove of superb new mixes of Grand Slam songs as well as killer full concert recordings that feature songs from throughout Lynott's stellar career. Each disc comes packaged in its own wallet with rare band photos and the whole box features a 20-page full-color booklet filled with informative liner notes from music historian Dave Thompson.

For a small taste of what’s in store, check out the newly remixed version of “Nineteen” that is being released today to all digital stores as well as the accompanying video, which cuts together rarely-seen footage of Lynott along with photos of the band on stage and in the studio.

Une réédition coffret de cet album méconnu (en dehors du UK) :
2023 sees the 50th anniversary of what is widely regarded as Thin Lizzy’s breakthrough album Vagabonds Of The Western World featuring their first UK top ten single "Whiskey In The Jar" and "The Rocker" which would go on to be one of the band’s signature tunes, so much so that it was the last song they ever performed at their final show in 1983.

To celebrate the album’s golden anniversary, deluxe CD and LP sets featuring rarities, radio sessions, unreleased music, rare photos, extensive sleevenotes by Mark Blake, and memorabilia will be released on November 17. The reissue suite also includes the album remixed in Dolby Atmos, a first for any Thin Lizzy record.

Vagabonds Of The Western World was Thin Lizzy’s third studio album and was initially released on the 21st of September 1973. It was the first to feature artwork by Jim Fitzpatrick, the creator of the famous red and black portrait of Che Guevara, who would go on to work with the band on classic albums such as Nightlife, Jailbreak, Johnny The Fox, Black Rose and Chinatown.

The album was the band’s last roll of the dice, as they had been working for two years with limited success. After the band moved to London from Dublin, they played every gig they could to keep themselves afloat. While messing around in their rehearsal studio, Phil Lynott started busking the old Irish folk song "Whiskey In The Jar", which dates back to the 1700s. Their then manager remarked upon it and insisted that the band recorded, against their gut instincts. The single was released in November 1972 and rose to number 6 on the UK singles chart. However, the song didn’t sit well with the band, and despite its success, they left it off their forthcoming album.

Since then, the song, in arrangements influenced by The Lizzy version, has gone on to be covered by artists such as U2, Metallica, Belle & Sebastian, The Pogues, Pulp, Bryan Adams, Gary Moore and Simple Minds.

After a two-year struggle for recognition, Thin Lizzy had finally scored a breakthrough hit. It paved the way for the Vagabonds Of The Western World album, but it would be their last with original guitarist Eric Bell. After an unsuccessful New Year's Eve show in Belfast, Bell was no longer in the band, which paved the way for Lynott's idea about having twin lead guitarists. After a short spell with very young Gary Moore filling in, Phil & Brian recruited American Scott Gorham and 18-year-old Glaswegian Brian Robertson, and a new adventure started.

The 50th anniversary of Vagabonds Of The Western World is the sound of nascent Lizzy finally finding their feet and starting on their journey to be one of the greatest rock bands of the 70s and for Philip to be recognised as one of the best songwriters of his generation.

Et surtout Live an Dangerous dans une version 8 CD, avec les concerts intégraux de 1976 et 1977 dont étaient tirés les titres de l'album (ici dans des versions non retouchées ???) + l'audio de la VHS Live an Dangerous tiré d'un concert de 1978.
On peut écouter tout cela ici :

Je l'ai acheté ce coffret 8 CD Live and Dangerous ! Avec la quasi intégralité des 6 concerts qui ont servi à la fabrication de Live and Dangerous, en version brute, sans retouche, et ça sonne incroyablement bien. D'ailleurs dans le livret accompagnant, les souvenirs divergent, le producteur indiquant qu'il y a eu beaucoup de ré-enregistrements a posteriori en studio (environ 50% de l'album !), et les musiciens disant qu'il y en a eu très peu.

Brian Downey notamment, a dit qu'il n'avait rien refait en studio .
