Thin Lizzy | Vagabonds Of The Weste... | 4LP

Thin Lizzy is an Irish rock band formed in 1969 in Dublin. The band took its name at the suggestion of Eric Bell, from the character Tin Lizzie in the comic The Beano, which Bell had been reading during rehearsals. The band disbanded on 4 September 1983 and later reformed with various former members.

Vagabonds Of The Western World is a four-LP vinyl set issued in Europe in 2023 by Decca to mark the 50th anniversary of the third studio album by Thin Lizzy, which was originally released in 1973. The set includes rarities, radio sessions and music that has not been released before. Three of the four LPs were previously issued on the At The BBC CD box set, so this is their first release on vinyl.
