First released1976

Thin Lizzy's "Jailbreak" was recorded at the famous Record Plant Studios in Los Angeles during 1976, marking a significant point in the band's career as they sought to capitalize on their growing international success. The album was produced by John Alcock and the band themselves, with engineer Mick Hinton overseeing much of the technical work. The production emphasized the dual guitar harmonies of Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson, which became a defining characteristic of the album and the band's signature sound during this era. The recording sessions benefited from the band's increased confidence and experience, resulting in tighter arrangements and more polished production compared to their previous work. "Jailbreak" was released in March 1976 and became one of Thin Lizzy's most commercially successful albums, establishing them as major players in rock music during the mid-1970s.
