"When Thin Lizzy's Jailbreak was released on March 26, 1976, rock and roll was at a fascinating crossroads. The old-school dinosaurs who led '60s rock -- The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones -- were still standing but limping along, already sounding like nostalgia acts to younger listeners. The next generation of arena-rock groups -- Aerosmith, Kiss, Black Sabbath -- were grounded in a more flamboyant, 'party till you puke' sensibility that would soon be subsumed by the ascendent heavy metal movement. Jailbreak would prove as foundational to the future sound of metal as AC/DC's High Voltage or Motörhead's Motörhead, just as Thin Lizzy's no-nonsense musical approach informed the sensibility of punk." 180 gram vinyl, on "overmaster orange" color. Lacquers cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. Listening Notes booklet by Steven Hyden. Art Print by Jim Fitzpatrick.
