Thin Lizzy - Chinatown

Thin Lizzy — Chinatown

45th Anniversary Limited Edition clear red colored vinyl

Celebrate Thin Lizzy's 45th Anniversary of their hard rock masterwork Chinatown! Released in 1980 as a successful follow-up to their much loved Black Rose - A Rock Legend, Phil Lynott, Scott Gorham, Brian Downey and new guitar sensation Snowy White forged ahead once again with their trademark hard rock sound and continued their assault on audiences worldwide with their tenth masterpiece Chinatown.

As the powerful opener "We Will Be Strong" kicks the album into full gear, featuring the dual lead guitars of Scott Gorham and Snowy White, who were known for creating some of the finest and most familiar guitar riffs in music history, they truly continue their legendary style with this metal anthem. Phil Lynott's vocal and bass attack notched up another career defining song as well, which served the band well for years and has truly been one of their most revered tunes.

Seven more incredible performances from these rock and roll warriors continue to thrill the listener including more Phil Lynott hard rock classics such as "Killer on the Loose," the blues belter "Sugar Blues" and the stellar title smash "Chinatown."

More rockers flow like the funk infused "Having a Good Time" and the brilliant Thin Lizzy anthem "Genocide (The Killing Of The Buffalo)." Even the heartwarming "Sweetheart," which showcases a soulful side of Lynott's writing and vocal ability, truly made this album a fan favorite for years to come. The incredible album closer "Hey You" captures once again the band's love for playing hard rock and playing it righteously, never to be duplicated on wax ever again.

With Phil Lynott and with the impeccable musicianship of Scott Gorham, Snowy White and Brian Downey all delivering the goods, "Chinatown" is considered one of their greatest achievements in their enduring album catalog.

Produced by Thin Lizzy and mastered impeccably from the Warner Music tapes by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios, Friday Music is very honored to celebrate 45 Years of the much heralded Thin Lizzy classic "Chinatown" for the first time on stunning clear red vinyl.

To make this more of a treasure for your limited edition Thin Lizzy collection, we are also including a stellar gatefold cover which features the legendary original album cover art as well as the original photos and artwork included with the album inner sleeve.
