Breaking Out: Thin Lizzy’s Masterpiece ‘Jailbreak’ on SHM-CD (UICY-25095)
Today’s entry spotlights a high-fidelity reissue of one of hard rock’s most essential albums: Thin Lizzy’s 1976 masterpiece, “Jailbreak.” We are looking at the 2011 Japanese pressing, released on the Vertigo label (Universal Music) with the catalog number UICY-25095. This particular copy includes the original obi strip.
Released as part of the “My Generation, My Music” series, this edition is pressed on SHM-CD (Super High Material CD). This format, highly prized by audiophiles, utilizes higher-quality polycarbonate plastic to provide superior transparency and audio fidelity while remaining playable on all standard CD players.
“Jailbreak” is widely considered Thin Lizzy’s definitive statement and the album that catapulted them to global fame, selling over 2 million copies. It features the classic lineup of Phil Lynott (vocals/bass), Brian Downey (drums), and the legendary twin-guitar attack of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson. Produced by John Alcock, this album is where their signature dual-lead guitar harmonies reached perfection, influencing countless bands that followed.
The tracklist reads like a greatest hits collection. It includes their signature anthem “The Boys Are Back In Town,” the driving concert opener “Jailbreak,” the storytelling classic “Cowboy Song,” and the Celtic-rock masterpiece “Emerald” (a song later famously covered by former member Gary Moore). Other tracks like “Warriors” and “Romeo And The Lonely Girl” further showcase Lynott’s poetic lyrics and the band’s tight groove.
UICY-25095 is the perfect way to experience this classic. Whether you are a die-hard fan or a newcomer looking for the best entry point into Thin Lizzy’s discography, this high-quality SHM-CD remaster captures the “120% Thin Lizzy” magic at its absolute peak.
