THIN LIZZY - Waiting For An Alibi : The Collection (2011)
2011 UK collection from the Irish Rock legends led by the late Phil Lynott.
Thin Lizzy have left behind a spectacular series of songs and albums because of their desire to continuously challenge themselves.
There was no style they wouldn't tackle with each combination of talented guitarists like Scott Gorham, Brian Robertson who brought their own individuality to the band as well as fiery front man and songwriter supreme, Phil Lynott.
This 20 song compilation impresses with its choice of material.
It includes the two radio-friendly hit singles with which the hard rock band's name is synonymous - their ballsy take on the Irish traditional folk song 'Whiskey In The Jar', and the exhilarating 'The Boys Are Back In Town'.
And it includes some of the best of the other material they recorded in their decade-or-so-long career, like 'Dancing In The Moonlight', 'Don't Believe A Word', and the title track to this compilation.
Intelligently, it features a couple of choices from their seminal 'Live' album 'Live And Dangerous'; 'Massacre' and 'Johnny The Fox Meets Jimmy The Weed'.
"Waiting For An Alibi : The Collection" is a stunning collection that features not only most of the big hits but also many other Lizzy classics that seldom appear on a 'best of'.
It's a perfect companion to earlier compilations 'Whiskey In The Jar', 'The Hero And The Madman' and 'Classic Thin Lizzy'. Whereas these sets concentrated on the earlier studio albums, "Waiting For An Alibi" is Lizzy at their commercial peak.
Wrapped in truly beautiful artwork, this jewel case release also includes a detailed 8 page booklet with liner notes and some great photo's of Phil and the boys.
Not only this is a perfect introduction for new listeners and a treat for fans, but at this price (£ 2.99), is simply a must have!
