Yep, thrilling! I saw the article below at http://www.independent.ie/entertainment ... 77337.html (I wonder who this friend of Phil's is that has been sitting on these tapes for all these years- thank goodness they finally decided to give 'em up while we're all still around to appreciate them! BTW---Has anybody bought or heard the Thin Lizzy "Live At The BBC" Boxset that just came out (see pic below)? Awesome collection- it's like $125, but I gotta pick one of those up!)
'Lost' Lizzy tapes resurface 26 years after Philo's death
By Ken Sweeney Entertainment Editor
Monday January 02 2012
A TREASURE trove of tapes stashed away by Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott will be released as a boxed set later this year.Twenty six years after the Dublin rocker's death at the age of 36, more of his lost music will be heard by the public for the first time in June.
Shortly before he passed away in 1986, Mr Lynott gave 150 tapes to a third party for safekeeping. The cache of up to 700 songs has finally been released to record company Universal Music.
"This is an absolutely stunning find," Steve Hammonds, project manager behind the new Thin Lizzy box set, told the Irish Independent. In every group there's a member who lovingly collects their recordings and in Thin Lizzy that was Phil Lynott, because Lizzy was his baby and his band."
It will be the second boxed set in recent times to feature archive work by the band, following last year's 'Live At The BBC' release.
But the newly unearthed recordings stretch from Thin Lizzy's years with Decca Records, beginning in 1971, to their 'Renegade' album in 1981. "There are out-takes, unheard versions of Thin Lizzy hits and, most exciting of all, material which was recorded but never released at the time," said Mr Hammonds.
"Phil Lynott was such a prolific songwriter. He recorded 12 Thin Lizzy albums, two solo albums, along with his Grand Slam post-Lizzy project, and now we find he had even more songs in his drawer."
However, Thin Lizzy members Scott Gorham and Brian Downey will have the "final say" over which songs are released. "The members of Thin Lizzy are fully involved with this project. We have been sending them tapes of what we've found and respecting their wishes as regards the material being issued and the art work," added Mr Hammonds.
Label bosses have declined to give more details on why the material is only surfacing now, 30 years after Thin Lizzy split. "Phil Lynott passed the material on to a third party for safekeeping. They held on to it for decades because they were waiting for the right people to come along. They really didn't trust anyone enough to release it properly. The catalyst was a boxed set of Thin Lizzy BBC sessions we issued earlier this year, which made them believe we were the right people. No money has changed hands, this person is a Thin Lizzy fan." About "Live At The BBC" Boxset:
This incredible archive represents a great set of previously unreleased recordings in the Lizzy catalogue. The collection has been brought together by trawling the BBC archives, but also by inviting contributions from fans. The BBC had a habit of wiping tapes after they were broadcast which has meant that some of the Corporation’s output has been lost forever. However thanks to fans recording broadcasts at home a couple of gems have been reclaimed here for this set.
This collection brings together a raft of sessions and live recordings from throughout the band’s career. Included also is a DVD of the bands sought after appearances on Top of the Pops and the Old Grey Whistle Test a well as concerts from throughout the band’s career. This is a first for the band as these recordings have never been available in one place before. With comprehensive notes by Classic Rock’s Malcolm Dome who tells the story of the bands history at the BBC.
