My particular SHM SACD released 5-25-2015, I think that the SHM SACD has been re released now 3 times. One would be wise to do some internet reading on the Irish rockers Thin Lizzy, quite a story. This line up, Phil Lynott, Bass, Brian Downey,Drums, Scott Gorham, Guitar, Gary Moore, guitar. I usually don't list the entire band in my reviews but the Thin Lizzy band line up is tortured with back and forth changes from the beginning and no line up would even last a touring year. Quick Facts: The 9th studio album, released in 1979 but after the epic 1978 Live and Dangerous LP. I have been a big Thin Lizzy fan and this disc is worthy of anybody's rock music collection. Note, The correct title for this disc is, Black Rose: A Rock Legend. Review by Marpow Aug(1 of 3 found this review helpful)
#BLACK ROSE LYRICS THIN LIZZY FULL#
The good news is that there’s minimal compression-you can really stress the plaster with this one! And there’s a lot of detail you can clearly hear the complex interplay between Gary Moore’s and Scott Gorham’s guitars, and every inflection and nuance in Phil Lynott’s voice comes through like a bell.Īll in all, I think this SACD pressing comes close to doing full justice to the magnificence of “Black Rose.” It’s not perfect, but it’s good enough for me.
I have a feeling that’s just how the master tape is, though-if there’s no water in the well, it ain’t comin’ up no matter how hard you pump. Like every pressing of the album I have, on LP or CD, this SACD lacks bass. Well, what do I think now that I have it in hand? Let’s just say this: It doesn’t stagger the brain nor does it disappoint.
Most of the redbook remasters are decent enough, but they’re not SACD. As a monster Lizzy fan, I always longed for their albums on hi-rez. When Universal Japan announced they were releasing “Black Rose” as one of their single-layer SACDs, I about wet myself. For my money, “Black Rose” is the best album Thin Lizzy ever cut, surpassing notables like “Jailbreak,” “Bad Reputation,” and “Chinatown” in one of the deepest and richest catalogs in all of hard rock and heavy metal.
