Thin Lizzy / debut album reissued as 3CD+blu-ray box set and SDE blu-ray

CD box set • 4LP vinyl box • SDE blu-ray

Thin Lizzy’s eponymous debut album will be reissued in July across a number of formats, including a 3CD+blu-ray box set, 4LP vinyl box, 2LP variants and as a limited edition SDE exclusive blu-ray.

Originally released on 30 April 1971 Thin Lizzy’s debut featured the original line up of Philip Lynott (Bass and Vocals) Eric Bell (Guitar) and Brian Downey (Drums). 

The album was followed by the New Day EP in August 71 both of which feature on the new box set alongside non-album tracks, outtakes, BBC sessions and brand-new mixes. This includes a new Richard Whittaker stereo mix of both album and EP, Sounds of the Seventies and John Peel Sessions and (on CD3) outtakes and alternates.

Like previous Lizzy box sets, this is presented as in 10-inch package with a 40-page booklet with extensive liner notes by Mojo’s Mark Blake. 

Blu-ray available as a standalone product exclusively via SDE

The 4LP set also offers a selection of new mixes, BBC Sessions and outtakes, while both with exclusive artwork and two double LP coloured vinyl sets offer the original mix on LP 1 and the new Richard Whittaker Stereo Mix on LP 2.

The SDE exclusive blu-ray is No 65 in the SDE Surround Series. It offers 2026 mixes of the album and New Day  EP (+ ‘Beggar’s Song’) in Dolby Atmos, 5.1, Stereo and Binaural – in both vocal and instrumental versions. There is no pre-order window for this SDE blu-ray release – it’s limited to 1,000 units. It comes in clear amaray blu-ray case and ships with a collectible SDE Surround Series slipcase.

Thin Lizzy will be released on 10 July 2026, via Fontana/UMR. You can order the SDE exclusive blu-ray from the SDE shop using this link. Due to constant demand, we are organising a limited run repress of the 1976: Jailbreak and Johnny The Fox from 2024 which is available bundled with the new release.
