FOAK - Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous

One of my first ever albums, which sadly got lost in a girlfriend
split situation many years ago, was Thin Lizzy's classic live album. I
retained a cassette recording of it, the some years ago bought it
again on CD.

Problem was, my car at the time didn't have a CD player, and I was out
of fresh tapes, so I re-recorded the CD over the top of the original,
only to find that one track had been missed off the CD, compared with
the (ex-)tracks on my tape.

Now I'm ripping all my CDs into mp3 format, and when I came to this
one I thought "I know, I'll find the missing track and include it
again." Sadly, I can no longer lay my hands on the tape with the
original listing written on the case, and google in all its powers
only returns me a 17-track listing of this album, although I'm
absolutely certain that my copy had 18 tracks.

So, my questions to the FOAK, particularly USTs, is this: What is the
track that's missing, and where can I get hold of a copy of it?

TIA.

 

I had the LP, well I got the school record library that I ran to buy it
and taped it, so don't remember any bonus tracks.

Latest, 2011 version, has 2 contemporary out-takes

Opium Trail & Bad Reputations

 

1996 CD here with 17 tracks on it.
It was re-released last year iirc.

As the cassettes listed for sale on Amazon only have 17 tracks, I
suspect your missing 18th track only exists in your memory.

 

Yes, as do nearly all the vinyl ones listed. Although I did find one
that claimed to have 18 tracks, but didn't list them.

GFY.

It was(is) definitely on the cassette, and partway through as well, so
not one I'd added as a filler at the end.

 

Perhaps then , it was Thin Lizzy Live and not Live
and Dangerous?

Nice idea, but no. First, I kinda remember the album, just a bit.
Second, my cassette recording, with hand-written (by me) sleeve notes
was quite clear, and it was only when I over-wrote it with the CD
version that I notices the single track discrepancy. I assumed then
that they'd been unable to fit the whole lot onto a CD, so had deleted
that one track.

I'm still not convinced that all the track listings aren't actually
based in the CD and that no-one's noticed that the vinyl version is
different.

If there's someone out there who has an original copy could they
please check it out?

 

It wasn't a 'bonus' track, but just a part of the album.

Yeah, seen that, but no, it wasn't one of them.

 

Unless you had the sole copy then no:

From Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_and_Dangerous

"On this album, the band segues immediately from "Cowboy Song" into "The
Boys Are Back in Town", on the line "a cowboy's life is the life for me".

Perhaps two tracks merging into one would account for the discrepancy?

 

Well duh! Like we know that wikipedia is 100% accurate and not just a
collection of what its users think, eh?

I shall research it further; finding the tape would help of course.

 

There are copies on ebay ( with track listings).

Good luck

Oops. I've just re-read the whole thread and realise that you've done this.

I've got a copy in the roof and Adie might feel generous enough to check
for you.

 

Ta to Adie. Although it seems likely that the 17-track one is the
norm, so even if mine really did have 18 it's not to say they all did.

 

Side One!
Jailbreak
Emerald
Southbound
Rosalie

Side Two
Dancing in the moonlight
Massacre
Still in love with you
Johnny the fox meets Jimmy the weed

Side Three
Cowboy song
The boys are back in town
Don't believe a word
Warrior
Are you ready

Side Four
Suicide
Sha La La
Babty drives me crazy
The Rocker.

I've not played it in a while and could not say that there's not an
extra not listed but have done a ring count and there really appear to
be only 17....

Yours
