Classic Rock Magazine Summer 2005 Thin Lizzy Phil Lynott Pink Floyd Deep Purple SKU 1547

Original Classic Rock Magazine, Summer 2005, Issue 83, with a major Thin Lizzy / Phil Lynott cover feature.

The front cover uses a striking black-and-white photograph of Phil Lynott holding his bass guitar, with the large Thin Lizzy logo across the lower half and the headline “Live and Dangerous!”. It is a particularly attractive issue for Thin Lizzy collectors, with the main feature looking back at the band’s touring years and the musicians surrounding Lynott.

Thin Lizzy / Phil Lynott Feature

The principal cover feature centres on Thin Lizzy and includes:

• “Live and Dangerous!”
• A retrospective on Thin Lizzy’s touring period.
• “Showdown! On Tour With Lizzy and Queen ’77–’79”
• Material covering Thin Lizzy’s connection with Queen during the late 1970s touring period.
• Contributions and recollections involving Brian Robertson, Gary Moore and Brian Downey.
• Focus on life and touring with frontman Phil Lynott.
• Large period image of Lynott gives the issue strong visual appeal for collectors of Thin Lizzy memorabilia.

This is a strong piece of mid-2000s classic-rock journalism looking back at one of the defining hard-rock bands of the 1970s.
