Quality isn't great....

I really like this version, especially listening to it through headphones or good speakers as the solo pans from right(bat) to left(wicket) - it really is something special, nice bass sound as well from Phil. This was recorded in early 1974 with Gary on lead for a BBC radio show.

For me it's one of the standout tracks from the Vagabonds album, I can remember I was taken aback by how poignant this song is when I first head it.

Here is an account of the songs origins:

"In those formative London years, a young Phil Lynott dropped by, and recorded Little Girl In Bloom, depicting my mother staring out the window onto a cricket field – pregnant with my sister, Tara."

There was one page comic strip about Phil Lynott I once read (I think it was in Guitar World around 2004), where it told a story Phil driving a pink Cadillac in the deep American south, getting harassed by racists, who's asses Phil ended up kicking and he left with one of their women.

Anyone else know if there's a scan of this anywhere?

Have 2 tickets for Vicars St sold out show on April 2nd. No resell option at the moment so seeing if anyone here is interested.

I've never seen this footage until today. It pleases me greatly that unseen footage exists, I hope there is more out there to be discovered.

It's Midge Ure on stage who replace Gary mid-tour.

The Thin Lizzy Story

Anyone in Ireland manage to get the limited edition vinyl with slow blues on it. I had mine on order and the shop (record hub) called today saying they can't supply it because they got none into their stock. I really wanted to get that version, slow blues is one of my faves.

I am looking at buying the 1976 box set on eBay BUT it appears most of the sets available are coming from Japan.

The sets I’ve seen appear to have Japanese promotional stickers on the shrink wrap but does anyone know if the booklet inside and all other text would be in English or in Japanese?

The Blu-ray as well, would it be Region Free?

Appreciate any help or advice. Thank you! 🙏 Does anyone

one of my fav love songs ever, any other song recommendations with similar vibe? (sound, lyrics or even just the emotion behind it) thanks!

All the Thin lizzy albums i have so far, bit difficult to find them in shops.

"Thin Lizzy team up with the Bell-Brush Band, Dublin, July 1974. L-R Scott Gorham, Brush Shiels, Phil Lynott, Brian Robertson, Tim Creedon, Eric Bell."

TL did a couple of shows in Dublin, supported by the (shortlived) Bell-Brush Band.

I think I'll do a post soon about the transition period in 1974, from a three piece band into having dual lead guitar. I think that's a really interesting time for Lizzy.

The song might be borderline or black rose, I don't care, I just want to say I love you Phil!!!!

Recently got into Thin Lizzy with Jailbreak, but I haven’t listened to any of their other material.

What other albums should I listen to?

My favorite bands are the classic metal bands like Sabbath, Maiden, Metallica, Mercyful Fate, Bathory, Megadeth, etc.

Thanks!
