The track, which originally appeared on the band’s self-titled debut album in 1971, is the focus of a massive deluxe reissue, featuring 15 unreleased recordings, rare radio sessions, and new stereo mixes, all in celebration of the album’s 55th anniversary.
The expanded release offers a deeper dive into the band’s earliest days and also features newly remastered audio and fresh liner notes exploring the album's creation and legacy. Look for the new record to drop July 10. Preorder here.
Written by late frontman Phil Lynott, “Clifton Grange Hotel” holds personal significance for the band, as it is an homage to a real boarding house in Whalley Range, Manchester, managed by Lynott’s mother, Philomena, from 1965 to 1980. The spot, dubbed The Biz, became a legendary retreat for musicians and entertainers in the ’70s, even hosting the Sex Pistols in December 1976.
Often overshadowed by the commercial success that followed, the self-titled debut album introduced many of the elements that come to define Thin Lizzy’s sound, from Lynott’s storytelling lyrics to the band’s blend of hard rock, folk, and blues influences.
So, even though neither the song, nor its parent album, made much of a dent on the American song charts, the debut from the Irish rockers paved the way for their 1976 breakthrough record, Jailbreak, which featured their signature hit, “The Boys Are Back in Town.”
