Recorded in 1974 and 1975, "Fighting" and "Night Life" were the first Thin Lizzy albums to feature what is regarded as the classic line up with guitarists Scott Gorham and Brian Robertson.
"Night Life" was released in November 1974 produced by Ron Nevison and Phil Lynott and features evergreens such as "Still in Love with You" and "Sha La La."
"Fighting" was released in September 1975 and reached no. 60 in the UK charts and featured tracks such as "Rosalie" and "Suicide."
The 2025 box set contains two versions of "Night Life" - the original album and a new stereo mix by Richard Whittaker - as overseen by guitarist Scott Gorham and mastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road.
The package also contains unreleased mixes from the band's vault, outtakes, B-Sides, Radio Sessions, and for the first time officially a show from Derby recorded in 1975.
The set - housed in a 10 x 10 box - is rounded off with sleeve notes by mojo’s Mark Blake and has a 40-page hard backed booklet packed with rare photos and memorabilia with contributions from long time contributor Jim Fitzpatrick.
The preview tracks include "Rosalie (Outtake)" - a full early take of the song with a rough guide vocal; "Song For Jesse (With Vocal)" - an outtake featuring Phil Lynott's vocals for the first time on a track previously known only as an instrumental; an acoustic demo version of "Philomena", Phil Lynott's tribute to his mother; and, "She Knows" - from an appearance on John Peel's BBC program on October 3, 1974, just weeks before releasing "Night Life."
