The Boys Are Back in Town

The Ultimate Collection School Days is a fabulous 100 track collection of those great songs and tunes that will remind you of going to the end of year school disco.
Containing the very best of pop, disco, punk, ska, new romantic, glam as well as the “slow dance” section just before the disco ends that we all remember so well… From the ultimate school days singalong of Madness’ “Baggy Trousers” through to the sitting down on the dancefloor rowing disco anthem of the Gap Band’s “Oops Upside Your Head as well as the girls on one side and boys on the other whilst dancing to the songs from “Grease”.

DYNAMIC JAILBREAK TOUR BROADCASTING RECORDING FROM 1976 Formed in Dublin in 1969 by Brian Downey and Phil Lynott, Thin Lizzy first hit big in 1972, when their single Whiskey In The Jar topped the Irish chart and reached No. 6 in the UK. The band s real commercial breakthrough, however, came in March 1976 when their Jailbreak album, and its accompanying singles, The Boys Are Back In Town and the title track, all garnered huge radio play and sold well worldwide. Having just concluded a short UK tour supported by Graham Parker & The Rumour, in early April 76, Thin Lizzy travelled to the US for their first American tour. One of the finest shows on this jaunt came on 21st of the month when the group performed at Chicago s Riviera Theatre. Recorded for live radio broadcast by local station WXRT-FM, and supported by England s Be Bop Deluxe, the show was a dazzling success for Lizzy when the band performed cuts from the new record alongside many choice numbers from their back catalogue. Previously unreleased, the entire recording is now featured on this superb CD, which illustrates what an exceptional group Thin Lizzy already were at the beginning of their most potent era.
