Produktbeschreibungen
Thin Lizzys Vagabonds, Kings, Warriors and Angels enthält alles, was man von der größten Bar-Room-Rock'n'Roll-Band braucht, um einen zu heftigem Trinken und zum Austoben zu bringen. Man kann tatsächlich miterleben, wie das frühe Trio mit Phil Lynott, Eric Bell und Brian Downey ihre Instrumente auf der ersten CD erlernen, mit all den verpatzten Wechseln und einem reichlich lockeren Taktgefühl -- was alles zu einem ziemlich ungehobelten Charme beiträgt. Lynotts ausfallendes Benehmen trieb Lizzy während der klassischen Jahre natürlich genauso an die vereinte Gitarrenakrobatik von Gorham und Robertson.
Und hier ist wirklich jeder Seufzer zu finden: "Still In Love", "Don't Believe A Word", "Sarah" -- die Liste findet kein Ende. Lizzy kannte sich aber auch im Bereich der Pop-Ohrwürmer aus, und viele ihrer Balladen sind zeitlose Klassiker geworden. Selbstverständlich "The Boys Are Back In Town" (wer noch nie "the jukebox in the corner blasting out my favourite song!" mitgebrüllt hat, benötigt unbedingt diese CDs); "Dancing In The Moonlight" (eine glänzende Live-Version); "Alibi"; wiederum eine Aufzählung ohne Ende. Die Story endet mit den aggressiveren Jahren der Band, angefangen von "Killer On The Loose" bis hin zu dem stark unterschätzten "Cold Sweat". Wenn man dann beim Finale gefühlsmäßig sein Resümee zieht, dann sind Thin Lizzy Vagabunden, Könige, Krieger, Engel und schließlich sogar Helden. --Ian Watson

Review
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Thin Lizzy was a great band and Phil Lynott, the songwriter behind it, was a kind of visionary, pioneering a poetic, working-class aesthetic later echoed in his American counterpart, Bruce Springsteen, while also leading the group's various lineups through a staggering number of great guitarists, highlighted by the triple-attack of the Jailbreak era. That said, they're the kind of great band that, unless you're dedicated, is perhaps better heard in isolated bursts, such as the classic Jailbreak or the peerless compilation Dedication, which successfully summarizes the band in 70 minutes. Often, their albums fluctuated between greatness and puzzling idiosyncratic detours -- the kind of thing you cherish once you're a fan, but the kind of thing that prevents many from converting in the first place. Which is why Dedication is such a welcome entry in their catalog, but for those who want more, without getting actual albums, the 2001 four-disc box set Vagabonds Kings Warriors Angels is a good bet, since it does whittle down a fairly extensive discography into a fairly lean, yet generous 73 tracks. Apart from some album tracks from Jailbreak and Bad Reputation, there really aren't any truly great songs that didn't make it on Dedication, so this box will not provide revelations -- just other well-written, well-performed, eloquent hard rock, graced by Lynott's wonderfully unpredictable phrasing and consistently superb guitars. For collectors, there's a handful of rare tracks, usually from EPs and B-sides (the best of which is 1973 B-side "Cruising in the Lizzymobile," which is easily one of the greatest titles in rock), plus the requisite history and photographs. It does add up to a thorough, entertaining, and valuable history -- but probably not one necessary for those who already own all the albums; nor is it necessarily going to be satisfying for those already satiated by Jailbreak and Dedication, even if it does round up nearly all of the best of the rest of the albums.
