Many of the recent THIN LIZZY reissue / remasters were handled by Rock Candy Records headquarters, and ”Nightlife” is one of them, a deluxe edition including an extra disc of worthwhile bonuses featuring GARY MOORE on guitar.
The remastering job by resident Andy Pearce (assisted by Matt Wortham for the 24-bit cut) is excellent, and on this Japanese edition on SHM-CD feels even better.
