{"product_id":"thin-lizzy-shades-of-a-blue-orp","title":"SHADES OF A BLUE ORP","description":"A compilation of early material.\nThin Lizzy: Phil Lynott (vocals, bass), Eric Bell (guitar), Brian Downey (drums).\nAdditional personnel: Clodagh Simonds (harpsichord, Mellotron).\nA fascinating, all-over-the-map album by a band that hadn't yet found its own voice (although in retrospect, hints of the band's ultimate direction can be heard here). Things get off to a roaring start with \"The Rise and Dear Demise of the Funky Nomadic Tribes,\" which segues from Yes-derived staccato unison riffing into a funk-guitar workout influenced by Jimi Hendrix and James Brown. From there it's on to \"Buffalo Gal,\" a melancholy folk-ish plaint that anticipates the working class Irish poetry Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott would develop to great effect later in the '70s; other stylistic detours include stabs at faux rockabilly (\"I Don't Want to Forget How to Jive\"), Mellotron-drenched confessional ballads (the title tune), and even a sort of visionary art-punk (\"Call the Police). Pretty cool, but the best was yet to come.","brand":"Thin Lizzy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44585957064937,"sku":"J676TH-09KP-00","price":31.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/thin-lizzy-shades-of-a-blue-orp_cmbhy.jpg?v=1758789139","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/thin-lizzy-shades-of-a-blue-orp","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
