Thin Lizzy – Thin Lizzy

Thin Lizzy is the debut studio album released by Irish rock band Thin Lizzy on 30th April 1971. The album was followed by the New Day EP, produced and recorded by Nick Tauber at Decca Studios and released in August of the same year. It was the band’s first album with the original lineup of Phil Lynott (bass and vocals), Eric Bell (guitar), and Brian Downey (drums).

 

This LP captured Thin Lizzy putting everything they had into the music and taking risks. It’s passionate, high-energy, and distinctive.
