There was a lot at stake, then, when a regrouped Lizzy parked outside the ‘Hammy’ Odeon that November with producer Tony Visconti and the Maison Rouge mobile studio in tow. Concurrently, Lizzy’s attempts to break America touring March 1976’s Jailbreak on the back of US Number 12 hit The Boys Are Back In Town had just come to nought when, sick and yellow-eyed with hepatitis, Lynott had been forced to quit the tour and fly home.

In summer ’78, only the soundtrack to Grease stopped it topping the UK album charts.įeaturing the ‘Fab Four’ line-up of Lynott, Gorham, young Scots firebrand Brian Robertson and masterful, versatile drummer Brian Downey, L&D became an exemplar of on-stage heroics for U2 and other aspirants.
