Thin Lizzy - Johnny the Fox (1976)

Another Thin Lizzy album I first heard on John Peel's show (there was a weekly BBC World Service shortwave broadcast in the '70s). I actually liked this better than its predecessor, Jailbreak, mainly because the songs rocked harder and the band's trademark double-guitar attack was tighter.

The poor CD transfer makes the album a tough listen now, but the songs still have plenty of appeal, especially 'Massacre' (apparently about the charge of the Light Brigade during the Crimean War) which was covered by Iron Maiden.
