THIN LIZZY - Vagabonds Kings Warriors Angels (2001)
Originally the box set was a chance for the fan to collect some rare recordings, demos and the obscure oddities from their favorite bands. Only a few bands with a healthy legacy of music were allowed the luxury of the Box Set. Their purpose should be to chronicle the history of an act/artist in a more inclusive and important way that the restraints of a greatest hits, best off album never could. In fact many bands, rock bands mainly, have produced material on albums that can be more superior to their hit singles to the surprize of many. The rock album in the seventies became a cohesive set of tracks and over took the advent of the single as the most important facet of many acts or artists. Through the years, late sixties onward, single sales dwindled as the sales of albums constantly grew and overtook the single by a large majority proving a massive financial reward for both band/artist and record label. Up to this point the album served as a vehicle to collect filler as the 60s beat generation threw out singles hits. The box set came along as an expensive limited collection of artifacts for the must have completist. Now they too have become commonplace, and as things become commonplace complacency can set in. There is now a culture to pack Box Set albums mainly with an artists recorded output and previous heard music with little foresight or imagination toward the unheard items that lurk in the vaults of record companies and studios. The Thin Lizzy Box Set is such a collection. Though there may well be the oddity or two thrown in to keep the listener on his/her toes the bulk of the material on offer on Vagabonds Kings Warriors Angels is nothing if not a wide retrospective, an anthology of previous released Thin Lizzy recordings. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
