Night Life - Deluxe Edition (1974)

"It's curious that "Night Life" -- the first album to feature guitarists Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson, the album that kicked off their classic era -- is an anomaly within their catalog. It's a subdued, soulful record, smooth in ways that Thin Lizzy never were before and rarely afterwards. There are still some moments of tough, primal rock, but they stick out among the jazzy, soulful whole, even if they never quite disrupt the mood. And it's that mood that's so appealing about "Night Life" -- it's a warm, soulful sound that resonates in ways Thin Lizzy's earlier records didn't. And it's not just because of the feel of the music, it's due to Lynott's increasing growth as a songwriter, too. Much of this is quite sentimental - but it's never saccharine or sappy. An underrated gem of a record." (Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Allmusic) Met o.a. de oerversie van "Still In Love With You", in duet met Frankie Miller en met gitaarpartij van Gary Moore. CD2 bevat BBC-sessies en demo's (waaronder verschillende met Moore).
