Thin Lizzy Albums 'Renegade' And 'Thunder And Lightning' Get Reissue Treatment
Tuesday, 30 July 2013
Written by Jon Stickler
Legendary rockers Thin Lizzy are to release two reissues, 'Renegade' and a deluxe version of 'Thunder and Lightning' on September 23.
First released in 1981, 'Renegade' was Thin Lizzy’s 11th studio album. Entering the UK and European Top 40, 'Renegade' features the epic Angel Of Death and the melancholic Renegade.
Characterised by Thin Lizzy’s bluesy rock sound, the album is a perfect showcase for the blend of Darren Wharton’s keyboards with Snowy White and Scott Gorham’s guitars. 'Renegade' will be reissued in CD format and will contain five bonus tracks, including an extended version of Hollywood and the edited version of Renegade.
'Thunder and Lightning' was released in 1983 and has been regarded as a Thin Lizzy classic – an album that has influenced countless heavy and hard rock bands. Heavier than its predecessor, 'Thunder and Lightning' featured new guitarist John Sykes and contained defining Lizzy songs such as the title track, The Holy War and Cold Sweat. 'Thunder and Lightning' will be released in Deluxe Edition double CD format. The CD will include 13 bonus tracks made up of rare live material and demos, including The Boys Are Back in Town live at Hammersmith 1981.
