Thin Lizzy : The Continuing Saga Of The Ageing Orphans

IF I RECALL

YOU'RE THE ACTOR

WHO FOLLOWED THE STARS

SEARCHING FOR

THE LOST CITY OF MARS

 The Continuing Saga

of the Ageing Orphans

 is a 1979

 compilation album

 by the rock group

 Thin Lizzy

Despite ostensibly

 featuring a

 selection of songs 

from the band's 

first three albums 

and their rare

 New Day EP,

 most of the tracks

 are in fact

 different from

 the originally

 released versions, 

having been remixed 

and altered with 

newly 

recorded material 

specially for

 this release 

during 

Christmas 1977.

 Of the tracks, 

only

 "Mama Nature Said",

 "The Hero and the Madman"

 and 

"Vagabond of the Western World"

 all from

 Vagabonds of the Western World

 are the same as

 their original 

album counterparts. 

Midge Ure 

(of Ultravox)

 and 

Gary Moore

 feature 

on some of 

the newly 

recorded songs. 

Despite the

 album's name, 

it does not include

 the track 

"Saga of the Ageing Orphan" 

from the band's 

first album.

* (I Added it As A Bonus Track) 

The album has

 long been out of print,

 but all of the 

altered tracks

 were re-released 

as bonus tracks 

on the 

2010 remastered versions

 of 

Thin Lizzy, 

Shades of a Blue Orphanage 

and 

Vagabonds of the Western World
