Thin Lizzy: Night life / Fighting
Universal Music Recordings is proud to announce a new box set celebrating a breakthrough year in the life of one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Thin Lizzy. THIN LIZZY 74-75 - NIGHT LIFE / FIGHTING is the follow-up to the best-selling and critically acclaimed follow-up to the best-selling and critically acclaimed THIN LIZZY 76. The 7CD set features new stereo mixes and the original versions of the studio albums released by the band in 1974 and 1975, 'Night Life' and 'Fighting'. The other discs contain unreleased versions from the band's vault, radio sessions, demos and a live show from Derby College of Technology recorded on November 21 1975. THIN LIZZY 74-75 - NIGHT LIFE / FIGHTING is housed in a 10 x 10 box with a 40-page hard-backed book with sleeve notes by renowned music writer Mark Blake and packed with rare photos. By mid-1974, Thin Lizzy were at a crossroads; they'd had a hit, Whiskey In The Jar, which they hated, and guitarist Eric Bell's lifestyle choices led to him being fired, and a young Gary Moore was drafted in for a tour and some demos. Scott Gorham, a twenty-something American guitar player, had come to London on the vague promise of a gig in his brother-in-law's band Supertramp, but it turned out they weren't hiring after all. Thin Lizzy's rhythm section, Phil Lynott on bass & vocals, and drummer Brian Downey set up base camp at the Iroko Country Club, an African restaurant/bar on North London's Hampstead Hill, to audition new guitarists after Moore left to do his own thing. One of the early candidates was 'Robbo', an eighteen-year-old Glaswegian Brian Robertson, who arrived three weeks after auditions began. However, Lynott was looking for something else, and it soon became apparent that he was looking for two guitarists in the band. "The thing is, I'd never heard of Thin Lizzy or any of their music," admits Gorham. "I was the complete underdog." However, Gorham got the gig, and Lizzy signed to Phonogram Records' rock imprint Vertigo. But there'd been some sleight of hand involved, Vertigo had been impressed by Lizzy's last demo, especially Gary Moore's playing on the ballad 'Still In Love With You'. Making 'Night Life' was a baptism of fire for Thin Lizzy's new recruits. The line-up had only been together a few weeks before Vertigo put them in London's Trident Studios with American producer Ron Nevison, who had engineered The Who's Quadrophenia and Bad Company's best-selling debut. The two guitarists complemented each other, with Robertson's rigorous, blues-based sound counterbalanced by Gorham's freer approach. However, Gary Moore's version of 'Still In Love With You' made it onto the finished album. 'Night Life' was released on November 8, 1974, with a cover illustration by artist Jim Fitzpatrick, whose black panther surveying an urban landscape acknowledged the Black Panthers' political organisation. The album stalled outside the Top 50, though. "I think Ron made the album he wanted to make," offers Gorham. "My frustration is the original record never sounded the way we did on stage." Downey is more sanguine about the record: "It was our first album with two musicians that had never been in a studio before. Making an album as good as that was a big achievement, whether it sold any copies or not." Lizzy's steep learning curve continued through March and April 1975, on their first trip to the US, opening for Canadian rockers, Bachman-Turner Overdrive. After Bachman-Turner Overdrive, Lizzy opened for ZZ Top, Rush and Bob Seger And The Silver Bullet Band before flying home. Thin Lizzy's cover of Bob Seger's 'Rosalie', the live version of which would later give Lizzy a top 20 hit, would be included on their fifth album, which, after being unsatisfied with the experience on 'Night Life', would be produced by Lynott alone with engineer Keith Harwood, fresh from David Bowie's Diamond Dogs and the Rolling Stones' It's Only Rock'n'Roll. 'Fighting' had more edge and focus than 'Night Life'. "America influenced us," suggests Downey. "If we hadn't gone to America, I don't know how 'Fighting' would have turned out. We saw how much hard rock was accepted in America, and this changed our direction." The LP cover, though, would cause red ace faces for decades to come; the British version of the album showed them in a Westbourne Grove alley, staring down the photographer's lens, brandishing weapons: Robertson held a knife and Downey and Lynott various lengths of pipe. "If there was a chart for the worst album covers of all time, that would be in the top ten," laughs Gorham, who has no idea why he wasn't given an offensive weapon and just stood with his arms folded. Released on September 12, 1975, Fighting peaked at Number 60 in the UK. "I don't know if we were disappointed," says Robertson. "Because it did better than Night Life." Thin Lizzy finally achieved their much-needed breakthrough in 1976. Their reputation would be forged with the groundbreaking Jailbreak, Johnny The Fox and Live And Dangerous albums. But the road to victory began in 1974 and 75.

Fighting Deindustrialisation
In Fighting Deindustrialisation, Andy Clark outlines and examines one of the most significant and under-researched periods in modern Scottish labour history. Over a fourteen month period in 1981 and 1982, as Scotland suffered the effects of the accelerated deindustrialisation of its economy, three workforces refused to accept the loss of their jobs. The predominantly women assembly workers at Lee Jeans (Greenock), Lovable Bra (Cumbernauld), and Plessey Capacitors (Bathgate) were informed that their multinational employers had taken the decisions to close their plants. At each site, a battle was fought against capital movement, corporate greed, and unfair jobloss. The workers occupied their factories and refused to vacate until their demands were met and closure avoided. At all sites this objective was achieved; none of the factories completely closed following the women’s occupations. In this book, these occupations are analysed together for the first time, through a range of
Fighting Feelings
Racialized women and girls often feel racial injustice before they have the words to name it. Sometimes they fight these feelings, and sometimes they use these feelings to fight. In this important and revealing book, Gulzar Charania puts the experiences of women of colour at the centre of her investigation, sharing how they endure everyday racism, as well as its lasting impacts and exacting costs in their lives and educational trajectories. Fighting Feelings highlights how the elasticity of white supremacy invites people of colour to be its accomplices, how interlocking forms of oppression force racialized queer women to calibrate the risk of expressing their sexuality, and how schools and the nation inform the development of racial literacy. Charania traces the complex convergences, and inseparability, of race, class, gender, and sexuality in women's lives, and demonstrates the divergent political horizons that racism fosters.

Fighting Polarisation
Polarisation seems to fix people in antagonistic us/them camps. But, around the world, there are groups of citizens who refuse to give up on the democratic promise of a larger ‘we’. Challenging received prejudices and resisting tribal appeals from political leaders and social media, they practise dialogue and deliberation to nurture reciprocal respect for difference. Guided by insights from deliberative democracy, social psychology, memory studies and other fields, Cherian George takes readers on a global, multi-sectoral tour of the fight against polarisation. On an American campus inflamed by war in the Middle East, a small group of pro-Palestine and pro-Israel students meet over meals to try to understand one another. In Indonesia, women join hands to overcome religious conflict in their hometown. In New Zealand, indigenous Mâori and the descendants of settlers serve as joint custodians of the country's longest river. The book reveals how lessons from this resistance movement help
