Nightlife

LP (Item 517098) Vertigo, 1974 — Condition: Very Good+
An overlooked classic from Thin Lizzy – an album that really has the group coming into their own – refining the sharper edges of Vagabonds, but still a bit free of the tightness of Jailbreak! There's a great undercurrent of funk at times – those sharp drums that made the Thin Lizzy sound so great at the time – and all the best elements are focused into one at the most powerful moments – that guitar/bass/Lynott vocal blend that proved unstoppable! Yet Phil also snakes out with these beautiful sensitive moments at points, too – really finding his own as a singer, and realizing that sometimes gentler passages can be as powerful as the brasher lyrics. Titles include "Philomena", "Sha La La", "Banshee", "Showdown", "Still In Love With You", "She Knows", and "Dear Heart".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight surface noise when played.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.
