Thin Lizzy's second album 'Shades Of A Blue Orphanage' is to get a very special Vinyl release, it has been confirmed.
52 years on from its original release, Decca records have confirmed that a gatefold vinyl of the album will arrive next month (April 5).
This vinyl release will also include a very special art card signed by original Thin Lizzy guitarist Eric Bell.
While it does not feature any official classic hits from the band, the album does include the single 'Sarah', which was written for Phil Lynott's grandmother who raised him, when his mother Philomena was unable to do so.
This song, which has become the album's standout tune, is not to be confused with Lynott's 1979 hit of the same name, which he wrote for his new-born daughter.

Speaking of Thin Lizzy, Irish football club Bohemians also unveiled their away jersey for this 2024 league season, inspired by Thin Lizzy.
The shirt pays tribute to the band, marking their iconic concert from Dublin's first major rock festival, even featuring a quote from Thin Lizzy's hit 'The Boys Are Back In Town'.
This show also took place at Dalymount Park in August 1977. More on this from Nova here.
