Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak

Thin Lizzy had been on the edge of breaking through for a long time by the mid 70s, but despite an iconic hit single, real success lay tantalisingly out of reach.

But with a re-shuffled line-up, a new-found confidence, and a healthy amount of pressure, the band hit 1976 running with what would be their most celebrated album, the legendary Jailbreak.

On Long Player, Steven Rainey looks at how this band of four unique personalities came to make this record, with the record industry telling them it was their last throw of the dice.
