A DOUBLE SHOT

OF

 THIN LIZZY

W/ Snowy White

ON ONE CD

 Chinatown

 is the tenth

 studio album

 by Irish band

 Thin Lizzy, 

released in 1980.

 It introduced guitarist

 Snowy White 

who would also perform

 on the next album

 as well 

as tour with

 Thin Lizzy 

between

 1980 and 1982; 

he replaced

 Gary Moore 

as permanent guitarist. 

White had previously 

worked with

 Cliff Richard, 

Peter Green

 and 

Pink Floyd. 

Chinatown 

also featured 

eighteen-year-old

 Darren Wharton 

on keyboards, 

and he joined 

Thin Lizzy

 as a

 permanent member

 later that year.

Recording

Having recruited 

new guitarist

 Snowy White

 just before

 Christmas 1979, 

Thin Lizzy

 began recording sessions 

at Good Earth Studios

 for what would become the 

Chinatown album

 in January 1980, 

and finished recording

 "Dear Miss Lonely Hearts" 

(co-written with Jimmy Bain)

 in early February. 

This song was not considered

 for the album 

and was instead used for

 Phil Lynott's 

debut solo album

 Solo in Soho, 

despite all the 

musicians playing on the song

 (and ultimately appearing in the video) 

being members of 

Thin Lizzy.

 Between March and May,

 the band worked on

 more songs, 

including

 "Lady Killer on the Loose",

 "The Sacred Sweetheart" 

and the title track

 "Chinatown",

 the latter two 

of which were also

 performed live at this time, 

at shows in

 Ireland and Scandinavia.

Another song which 

had already been played

 live was

 "Didn't I", 

on the recent

 Japanese tour

 with temporary 

guitarist 

Dave Flett 

in the band.

The co-producer on the album 

was Kit Woolven,

who was employed by 

Thin Lizzy's previous producer,

 Tony Visconti. 

New keyboard player

 Darren Wharton 

later described 

Woolven as a

 "really nice guy,

 easy-going, 

diplomatic type of guy", 

and a 

"really good engineer". 

Wharton also described how

 Woolven acted as a guide

 for Lynott in terms

 of production,

 rather than either 

man producing 

the album himself.

Woolven described the 

recording as 

"hard to do"

 due to Lynott's

 tendency to make up ideas

 on the spot rather than 

undertake any 

pre-production work. 

He also stated that this 

made it harder for 

new guitarist White,

 who was used to a more

 regimented style

 of working.

 Bass guitarist

 Jerome Rimson,

 who worked on 

Lynott's solo albums, 

described the 

scene in the studio:

 "I watched him [Lynott] 

record most of the

 Chinatown album 

standing at the microphone 

and making up the words 

as he was standing there.

 There was a 

full-blown party

 going on in

 the control room.

Midge Ure had been

 performing live with the band 

up to this point, 

but left after the

 Scandinavian shows in April. 

The band reconvened at

 Good Earth to 

continue work 

on the album,

 but soon had to relocate

 to RAK Studios 

when more time at 

Good Earth became unavailable. 

It was there that

 the band met 

teenage keyboard player 

Wharton, 

who had been recommended

 to Lynott by a friend

 in Manchester. 

Wharton travelled to London

 for an audition in

 the form of a loose jam, 

but the band were 

too busy finishing 

"Chinatown", 

which was to be released

 as a single in May. 

He returned the following week, 

having learned all 

the band's material, 

and was hired on a

 temporary basis. 

Promotional videos were recorded for 

"Chinatown" 

and the completed

 "Killer on the Loose" 

around the same time, 

without Wharton. 

These were directed by

 David Mallet, 

with whom the band

 had worked on videos 

for the previous album 

Black Rose: A Rock Legend, 

at Hewitt Studios in London.

Recording was 

subsequently delayed

 by more touring, 

and some shows were

 recorded to provide material

 for a potential live album,

 although most of it was used

 for B-sides

 and an EP, 

Killers Live. 

By mid-June,

 the band returned to 

Good Earth

 to complete

 Chinatown,

 although it was still unclear 

which songs would be featured.

 By July, 

a preliminary running order

 had been established 

for the album.

 Side one featured 

"Chinatown",

 "We Will Be Strong",

 "Didn't I",

 "Turn Around"

 and 

"Killer on the Loose". 

Side two

 consisted of 

"Hey You,

 You Got It Made",

 "Having a Good Time",

 "Sweetheart", 

"The Act", 

"The Story of My Life" 

and

 "Sugar Blues".

Two of the songs which had

 been worked on were 

ultimately considered unsuitable

 for the album:

 "The Act" 

(also known as "It's Going Wrong") 

and 

"The Story of My Life". 

The former was eventually

 re-recorded and finished for

 Lynott's second solo album, 

The Philip Lynott Album, 

as

 "Don't Talk About Me Baby", 

while

 "The Story of My Life" 

with lead guitar by

 White remained unfinished.

 Another song,

 "Turn Around",

 which had been played

 during soundchecks

 for live shows, 

was completed as

 "Don't Play Around",

and was used as the

 B-side of the 

"Killer on the Loose" single

 instead of being included

 on the album.

 A soundcheck recording

 of the song appeared on

 the expanded version

 of the album,

 released in 2011.

 In August, 

having decided that these

 three songs would 

not be included,

 the band decided to reduce

 the number of tracks

on the album

 rather than write 

and record new material. 

The only new song

 brought in at this time was

 "Genocide (The Killing of the Buffalo)"

Renegade

 is the eleventh 

studio album

 by Irish rock band

Thin Lizzy

released in 1981.

 Though not his

 first appearance, 

this was the first album

 in which keyboard player

 Darren Wharton 

was credited as a 

permanent member, 

becoming the fifth member

 of the line-up. 

As such, 

he made a contribution

 as a songwriter

 on the opening track 

"Angel of Death". 

However, 

even though he had 

officially joined the band,

 his picture was omitted

 from the album sleeve. 

Renegade

 was the second 

and final album

 to feature guitarist

 Snowy White. 

By his own admission, 

White was more suited

 to playing blues 

than heavy rock 

and he quit by

 mutual agreement 

the following year.

 He went on to have

 a hit single with

 "Bird of Paradise"

 in 1983.
