Product Description

"Shades of a Blue Orphanage" is the second album by Thin Lizzy, released in 1972 under Decca Music Group Ltd. This classic and hard rock album marks a significant step in the band's journey to stardom, showcasing their evolving sound and songwriting prowess. Produced by Nick Tauber, the album features the core lineup of Phil Lynott, Eric Bell, and Brian Downey, who together create a dynamic and engaging musical experience.

With a runtime of 40 minutes, the album offers a mix of powerful rock numbers and more subdued tracks, all of which contribute to a cohesive and enjoyable listening experience. Standout tracks like "Buffalo Gal" and "Baby Face" highlight the band's ability to blend hard rock elements with catchy melodies, while deeper cuts like "Sarah" and "Call The Police" showcase their versatility and depth.

Originally pressed in the UK with Decca Records, "Shades of a Blue Orphanage" is a testament to Thin Lizzy's early creativity and musical innovation. Whether you're a longtime fan or a newcomer to their music, this album offers a compelling glimpse into the band's formative years and their enduring impact on the rock genre.

This 2019 Reissue LP is housed in a gatefold, pressed on 180g vinyl.
