A previously unheard album featuring Scott Gorham is about to be released, 40 years after it was recorded. The Californian-born guitarist, best known for being a member of Thin Lizzy, was in Los Angeles group The Western Front towards the end of Lizzy’s lifespan, between 1983 and ’84.
The quintet had been led by their management to believe that a deal with Atlantic Records was a formality. When that arrangement fell through, so despondent were the band that the two-inch master tapes containing its dozen songs were consigned to the garage of their guitarist, Dennis O’Donnell, where they remained.
