Phil Lynott: Songs for While I'm Away + The Boys Are Back In Town (CD + DVD) [Blu-ray]

В конце июня 2022 выходит высоко оцененный документальный фильм о Филе Лайнотте, лидере известной ирландской рок группы Thin Lizzy, бесспорно, являющейся одной из самых влиятельных групп рок-н-ролла c их драйвовым хард роковым звуком, двойной ведущей гитарой, текстами песен рабочего класса и харизмой певца, автора песен и басиста Фила Лайнотта.

Mercury Studios отдает дань их наследию, выпуская "Phil Lynott: Songs For While I'm Away" + "Thin Lizzy: The Boys Are Back In Town Live At The Sydney Opera House October 1978". Издание будет выпущено в формате 2xDVD+CD и Blu-ray+DVD+CD. "Songs For While I'm Away" рассказывает о жизни и музыке Фила Лайнотта через архивные кадры, фрагменты интервью самого музыканта и музыку из каталога Thin Lizzy и сольно. Фильм рассматривает его историю и влияние на музыку и показывает Лайнотта как певца, автора песен, поэта, отца и культурную икону. Этот фильм дополняет концерт "The Boys Are Back In Town Live At The Sydney Opera House October 1978".

Эта версия на Blu-ray, ранее выпущенная на VHS, лазердиске и DVD, представляет шоу в лучшем качестве, чем когда-либо, не только с очищенным видео и ремикшированным звуком нескольких треков, но и с пятью дополнительными песнями из этого набора, которые никогда не были официально выпущены. На этом выступлении звучат зажигательные версии их знаменитых гимнов, таких как "Jailbreak", "The Boys Are Back In Town", "Bad Reputation" и "Me And The Boys", подкрепляя мощь и мастерство группы в пантеоне рок-музыки...

With their driving hooks, twin lead guitars, lyrics saturated in working class lore, and the charismatic presence of singer/songwriter/bassist Phil Lynott, Thin Lizzy are undeniably one of the most influential bands in Rock 'N' Roll.

Mercury Studios salutes their legacy with the release of Phil Lynott Songs For While I'm Away + Thin Lizzy The Boys Are Back In Town Live At The Sydney Opera House October 1978 on June 24. Pairing the acclaimed Phil Lynott documentary with a renowned live concert film, the set will be available as a Blu-ray+DVD+CD (with the Phil Lynott documentary on the Blu-ray) combo pack.

Songs For While I'm Away chronicles the life and music of Phil Lynott, utilizing archival footage, interview snippets from the man himself, and music from both the Thin Lizzy and Phil Lynott solo catalog. Notable conversations with Midge Ure (Ultravox / Thin Lizzy), Darren Wharton (Thin Lizzy), Scott Gorham (Thin Lizzy), Adam Clayton (U2), Huey Lewis (Huey Lewis & The News), James Hetfield (Metallica) and others, as well as Phil's wife Caroline Taraskevics and daughters Sarah Lynott and Cathleen Lynott reveal an all-encompassing look at Phil, from his 1950s' upbringing as a Black boy in blue collar Dublin to his rise to fame. Fully exploring his history and rippling impact on music, the film examines Lynott as a singer, songwriter, poet, father, and cultural icon.

Complementing this film is The Boys Are Back In Town Live At The Sydney Opera House October 1978. Previously released on VHS, Laserdisc, and DVD, this version presents the show in the highest quality that has been made available, with not only cleaned up video and remixed audio from multi tracks, but five additional songs from this set that have never been officially released. This performance showcases the electricity of these original Rock 'N' Roll masters – Lynott, Scott Gorham (guitar / background vocals), Gary Moore (guitar / background vocals), and Mark Nauseef – delivering searing versions of their celebrated anthems, such as "Jailbreak", "The Boys Are Back In Town", "Bad Reputation" and "Me And The Boys".
