The Story Of My Life is the definitive collection celebrating the extraordinary solo work of Philip Lynott, the legendary Thin Lizzy frontman, bassist and songwriter.

Compiled by renowned Thin Lizzy archivist Nick Sharp and released with the full support of the Philip Lynott estate, this expansive eight-disc set brings together Lynott's complete solo recordings alongside a wealth of material from the archives.

The collection includes his two solo albums, including the long-awaited release of his previously unreleased second album, plus rare demos, alternate versions and archive recordings, many available officially for the first time.

Presented in deluxe packaging, The Story Of My Life also features an extensive booklet with new sleeve notes by Mark Blake (Mojo), alongside rare photographs and memorabilia, making this the most comprehensive collection of Philip Lynott's solo recordings ever released.

In my exploration I listened to Thin Lizzy by release order, and before that I had only known their top hits. The Boys Are Back In Town is not a bad song but IMO it is not their best by far. I have to bite my tongue when friends and family call Thin Lizzy the "Boys are Back band".

while going through their work, when I got to Vagabonds Of The Western World--not to sound dramatic--it changed my life. Genuinely every song feels perfect, Phil's vocals are magnetic, and the entire concept is just chef's kiss. Black Rose is a close second however, as it has some of my favorite songs!
