Thin Lizzy – Decca Era & Mercury Rarities 2020 Box-Set 6 CD

Irish rockers Thin Lizzy will launch a new archival series with the October 9 release of Rock Legends, a career-spanning 6CD/1DVD box set that offers a new overview of their work through an almost entirely unreleased selection of tracks. The series celebrates their 50th anniversary as a band, and yesterday’s announcement coincided with what would have been the 71st birthday of late frontman/bassist Phil Lynott as well as the forthcoming Songs For While I’m Away, a new documentary on Lynott’s life and career.
