Description
THIN LIZZY Jailbreak (Vertigo 9102 008) Phil Lynott RARE UK 1st Pressing MINT-
RARE UK first pressing of Thin Lizzy`s breakthrough album "Jailbreak" on Vertigo Records (March 1976).
"The proof of how desperate people are for new Springsteen is that they'll settle for this--even "The Boys Are Back in Town" is the sort of thing that ends up in Bruce's wastebasket. If Irish teen traumas are as boring as Phil Lynott's descriptions of them, it's no wonder they have trouble maintaining their birthrate. And if Irish teen traumas are as secondhand as Scott Gorham's guitar lines, the Irish will probably end up preferring Springsteen too." - Robert Christgau (undated).
