"Thin Lizzy" is the first studio album by Irish hard rock band, released in 1971. Now it has been digitally remastered and expanded with 9 Bonus Tracks including 4 songs which were overdubbed and remixed in 1977.

In November 1970, Decca records A&R manager Frank Rodgers was visiting Dublin to scout local musical talent and was persuaded by Brian Tuite to attend a Thin Lizzy concert at the Peacock Theatre in Dublin. Immediately impressed by the ability of the band and the charisma of Lynott, Frank Rodgers offered Thin Lizzy a three year worldwide contract with Decca records as soon as the band came off stage. For their first British recording sessions Decca appointed producer and songwriter Scott English to supervise the proceedings. In five days ten songs were recorded, all of which had been tried and tested by the band on stage in their homeland and the majority of which had been written by Lynott. Like much of their recorded work for Decca, many of the songs recorded featured direct references to rural Ireland, Dublin and Lynott's childhood. Pieces such as "The Friendly Ranger at Clontarf Castle" and "Clifton Grange Hotel" were musical stories of Clontarf (a small town near Dublin where Lynott and Bell shared a house in the early days of the band) and of the Clifton Grange Hotel, an inn managed by Lynott's mother. The material recorded also displayed a striking contrast of light and shade. Eric Bell's "Ray-Gun" was a Hendrix inspired funky rock number, as was Lynott's early rocker "Look What the Wind Blew In" and the Lynott / Downey composed "Return of the Farmer's Son". Conversely, "Honesty is No Excuse", "Eire" and "Saga of the Ageing Orphan" were softer numbers of aching beauty and melancholy revealing Lynott's great ability as a sensitive songwriter. Despite a lack of major commercial success, Thin Lizzy's debut found enthusiastic supporters in both John Peel on BBC Radio One and David Jensen, at that time a DJ on Radio Caroline.
