Vagabonds of the Western world

"At their best, Thin Lizzy combined rock 'n' roll swagger with a libertine artiness as expressed through Lynott's writing. It would take time and a few personnel changes (namely the replacement of Bell with Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson) for things to really fall into place for them, but you can hear the inklings of the great band that they would become on Vagabonds of the Western World. Even the weaker moments of the album have an endearing, shaggy-dog quality to them, given how they're borne out of antsy creativity and a desire from the band to prove themselves. It may be their third album, but this is where the Thin Lizzy story properly begins".

"It is an album that has grown in stature over the years. From this point on, Phil Lynott shaped the sound of Thin Lizzy incorporating a great many influences and styles. He was years away from the international success of Jailbreak, but that album would not have happened without Vagabonds of The Western World. This album set the stage for Thin Lizzy. While some of the bonus material has been released before, it is nice to have it all in one collection. This is a fantastic box set full of gems and some of the finest rock songs one will ever hear".
