Thin Lizzy: Live and Dangerous / super deluxe edition "“The greatest live album of all time” expanded to 8CDs!
To celebrate the 45th anniversary of Thin Lizzy’s 1978 live album Live And Dangerous, Universal Music Catalogue will release a definitive 8CD super deluxe edition featuring a newly remastered version of the album and alongside it all the gigs recorded for Live and Dangerous!
These seven shows from London, Toronto and Philadelphia have been newly mixed by Ben Findlay from the original multi-tracks and mastered by Andy Pearce, overseen by legendary Lizzy guitarist Scott Gorham.
Live And Dangerous was originally intended to be a studio album, working with producer Tony Visconti, however, Visconti had only had a small window in his schedule, so Lizzy’s frontman Philip Lynott came up with the idea that they spend two weeks together compiling a live album instead. When Live and Dangerous was initially released in 1978, the album spent the best part of three months in the UK top ten and was only denied the top spot by one of the best-selling albums of all time, the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever.
The super deluxe edition of Live And Dangerous finally puts to bed the myth that the album was extensively overdubbed in the studio, and demonstrates that Thin Lizzy was one of the best live bands of the 1970s.
The box set is a large format (12″ x 12″) package and includes sleeve notes with new interviews by Mark Blake and a booklet packed with rare photos and memorabilia.
Live and Dangerous super deluxe edition will be released on 20 January 2023, via UMC/Mercury."
