NEW VINYL LP ON UNIVERSAL 2020

180 GRAM VINYL.

Following the success of the recent albums Blues (2019) and Check Shirt Wizard Live in 77 (2020) we are pleased to present a new Rory Gallagher best of collection. Featuring his most legendary songs compiled from across his recording career, including tracks from Rorys seminal first band Taste through to his last studio album Fresh Evidence (1992).

Johnny MarrThe man who changed my musical life was Rory Gallagher, I picked up a guitar because of him.

Slash Rory didnt sound like anybody elseHe had a very individual, independent kind of tone and approach and everything. Hes always been a big hero to me.

Brian MayHe was just a magician, hes one of the very few people of that time who could make his guitar do anything it seemed. It just seemed to be magic. I remember looking at that battered Stratocaster and thinking how does that come out of there?

Ritchie BlackmoreRory was probably the most natural player Ive ever seen. In all the gigs we did together I dont think I ever heard him play the same thing twice He was the ultimate performer.

Ed SheeranA Million Miles Away was the first song I learned on guitar. The story goes that when Jimi Hendrix was asked how it felt to be the greatest guitarist in the world, he answered, I dont know. Go ask Rory Gallagher.

Eric Clapton The man who got me back into the blues.

Jimmy Page I really liked Rory, he was fine guitarist and singer and lovely man
