After the blockbuster, the prequel. Thin Lizzy’s 2024 box set, titled simply 1976, celebrated the band’s breakthrough year, in which they released two classic albums: Jailbreak and Johnny The Fox, the former so pivotal for the band due to its era-defining hit single The Boys Are Back In Town.

Now, with 74-75: Night Life / Fighting, the focus is on the period leading up to that success, bringing together the first two albums recorded by what became the definitive Lizzy line-up after guitarists Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson joined bassist/vocalist Phil Lynott and drummer Brian Downey.
