As with my other reviews of these deluxe editions we will concentrate on the sound,packaging and extras rather than the actual cd itself.This long awaited version has the best sound so far of all the deluxe new versions.Gary Moore sounds absolutely fantastic,his guitar cutting through the mix like an axe (pun intended).This was Lizzy's most successful studio album ,getting to number two in the UK charts and spawning the hit single "Waiting for an alibi".The new mix ,by Andy Pearce has given the cd much more depth and a warmness that leaves my old vinyl gathering dust on the shelf.The new booklet essay by Paul Elliott doesn't really shed any new ground but for the casual fan will be informative enough.Same with the photos,more live shots would've been better than the same tired old promo shots.The extras once more are the real reason for buying this reissue,and the Nassau session tracks are worth the money alone,never mind all the b sides.The jewel in the crown of the release is "Don't believe a word" .This is the much bootlegged slow version and along with "Got to give it up" is one of the bands best ever tracks.All in all,if you can only have one Thin Lizzy cd then this is the one to get.

After the somewhat disappointing releases of Jailbreak, Johnny the Fox, and Live and Dangerous, I approached this with a bit of hesitation, but I just couldn't resist. It is Thin Lizzy after all. In case you're wondering, all of those deluxe editions did not feature the newly remastered material, but the 1996 remaster. Blame Scott Gorham on that one. Disc 1 features the remastered original Black Rose LP, and it sounds fantastic. Very nice and dynamic, and you can hear a bit more of subtleties that were more or less buried in the original mix. Fine remaster. Disc 2 has an abundance of great material, including an unreleased track entitled Rock Your Love, which has been out on the net for quite some time, but this one is vastly superior as it's cleaned up significantly, sessions from 1978 in Nassau including an unreleased track entitled Cold Black Night plus more, and a different version of Toughest Street In Town. It features different lyrics and an overall different sound. The only real disappointment is in the packaging. We don't get the cool little box to store the digipack into anymore. It just comes with a little plastic banner that you have to cut through to get to your CD's that says Deluxe Edition on the front. Come on Universal stop being so damn cheap! Be careful peeling it off or you could damage that artwork. Better yet just leave it on as it looks cool. Apart from that, it's a fantastic edition, and highly recommended as well as Chinatown.

This was the first Thin Lizzy album I bought..in 1979.
The last remaster was OK, but this really brings it to life. I cranked up the volume and I was 14 again.
The extras are pretty good as well..highly recommended!

Don't buy the mp3 download version!
I bought the mp3 version from Amazon and it is shocking. I know the deluxe edition has been remastered/ remixed but my download must have come from a previous edition. Read more

We Miss Phil Lynnott & Thin Lizzy
Black Rose is one of the best records in the history of Rock. The only group that can make this harmony sound with two guitars is Thin Lizzy no one else can do this. Read more
