(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Thin Lizzy, empezó su vida en Dublín en 1969, cuando dos amigos de la infancia: Phil Lynott y Brian Downey fueron abordados por dos ex miembros de la banda de Van Morrison, Them: Eric Wrixon (teclados) y Eric Bell (guitarra). Antes de esto, Lynott y Downey habían estado tocando juntos en un grupo denominado "Orphanage" (orfanato), junto con Pat Quigley en el bajo y la guitarra de Joe Staunton. El recién formado Thin Lizzy vio a Brian Downey a la batería y Lynott en bajo y voz. Su primer lanzamiento, en Parlophone Records, se produjo en julio de 1970: era una composición original de Lynott llamada "The Farmer", se prensaron unas 500 copias del single, con unos 283 vendidos: un humilde comienzo, puede ser, pero la banda estaba destinada para grandes cosas. Poco después, Wrixon dejó la banda y los tres miembros restantes continuaron tocando en vivo casi todas las noches de la semana. Peter Eustace, roadie del grupo recordó: "Thin Lizzy era la banda de Eric al principio, y Phil apenas figuraba. Mi primer recuerdo de Thin Lizzy en directo fue ver a Eric desarrollando sus mímicas de Jeff Beck y Jimi Hendrix." En 1971 firman para Decca Records, compañía que lanza "Thin Lizzy" su primer álbum. "Thin Lizzy" y "Shades of a Blue Orphanage" (su siguiente álbum, de 1972) fueron descritos como LP's interesantes y peculiares que tienden a desafiar la categorización fácil. Su temprana fama fue ayudada por el disc-jockey Kid Jensen, que les difunde en su programa de Radio Luxemburgo (una emisora del Gran Ducado que transmitía para las islas Británicas), comenzando a construir de este modo una carrera subterránea fuerte. Durante 1972 recorrieron Europa, ellos sabían que si querían entrar en un mercado más amplio, tenían que perseverar y tocar en Inglaterra. Más tarde ese año, Slade se fue de gira y se los llevó de teloneros, Decca lanzó un single para que coincida con esta gira, y escogieron una canción folclórica tradicional irlandesa: "Whiskey in the Jar", su primer éxito, que se mantuvo en la cima de las listas irlandesas durante 17 semanas, y alcanzó el número 6 en Inglaterra. Comienzan a trabajar en "Vagabonds of the Western World", su tercer álbum, que fue lanzado en el otoño de 1973. La combinación del arte pop de la portada con temáticas irlandesas en las canciones, junto con un diseño trebolado en la parte posterior, demostró la progresión creciente de la visión de Phil para el grupo: mística celta más hard rock contundente. Downey dijo: "La calidad de la escritura de Phil sumada a la agresión de la música creó un buen álbum. Creo que con "The Rocker" solo basta para resumir perfectamente de qué se trataba Thin Lizzy en ese momento." Durante este período Phil comenzó a tomar las riendas creativas de la banda y Eric Bell dejó el grupo en 1974. Fue reemplazado por Gary Moore durante unos meses, mientras se embarcaban en un tour irlandés, y luego en una gira inglesa. Una serie de fechas en Alemania fue lo próximo, con los guitarristas Andy Gee y John Cann. A pesar del trabajo, el éxito en las listas seguía eludiendo a la banda y Lynott y Downey estaban a punto de tirar la toalla: afortunadamente, en lugar de eso, contratan a dos nuevos guitarristas: Brian "Robbo" Robertson, escocés de Glasgow, y el californiano Scott Gorham, estas incorporaciones señalarían una nueva era para Thin Lizzy. El contrato con "Decca" se había agotado, y la recién reformada alineación firma con Phonogram/Vertigo, mediante la cual aparece "Night Life", su cuarto álbum, que fue lanzado en noviembre de 1974, entre tanto, la banda prosigue con ensayos y trabajo, perfeccionando su acto, tendiente a convertirse en un grupo más conjuntado y más consumado. "Fighting" El próximo álbum, que gana la calle en 1975, ve el estilo de Lizzy desarrollarse de manera más armoniosa, con las líneas de guitarra de Gorham y Robertson. Como Scott recuerda: "Wishbone Ash habían introducido las guitarras gemelas antes que nosotros, pero nosotros nos llevamos la idea, y la pusimos en un contexto de rock más pesado, con más agresión." Su arduo trabajo se vio recompensado con "Jailbreak", el nuevo álbum editado en 1976, y con el single "The Boys Are Back in Town", ambos fueron grandes éxitos internacionales, alcanzando el número 8 en las listas del Reino Unido. Al llegar al top 20 en los EE. UU., las ventas del álbum superaron las 100.000 copias, por lejos, su mayor éxito hasta la fecha. A caballo de esto, "Johnny the Fox", su próximo álbum, lanzado en octubre de 1976, fue certificado como disco de oro, y el single "Don't Believe a Word" alcanzó el número 12 en las listas del Reino Unido. Después de una gira británica exitosa, a finales de 1976, la banda estaba lista para un tour por los Estados Unidos, cuando Brian Robertson fue herido y se vieron obligados a cancelarlo. De todos modos se fueron a América como teloneros de Queen, con Gary Moore como reemplazo provisional de Robertson. Una vez que la gira había terminado, Robertson confirmó que no iba a volver al grupo, por lo cual quedan reducidos a trio, con Phil, Brian Downey y Scott Gorham, formación que graba "Bad Reputation", el álbum de 1977. No obstante Robertson volvió a reincorporarse a Lizzy durante la grabación del álbum, y se quedó con el grupo durante las sesiones, incluso tocando en vivo con la banda en apariciones especiales hasta agosto de 1978, cuando finalmente se fue para formar Wild Horses. "Bad Reputation" fue lanzado en septiembre de 1977 y llegó al número 4 en las listas inglesas, empujado por el suceso de "Jailbreak" y "Johnny the Fox", y entronando a Thin Lizzy como una de las bandas de rock más exitosas de la época. Thin Lizzy se embarcó en una gira por los EE. UU. en el otoño de 1977, y al año siguiente comenzó el trabajo de mezclas de un doble álbum en vivo: "Live and Dangerous", el cual fue un éxito a ambos lados del Atlántico. Más tarde, en 1978 giran una vez más por EE. UU., esta vez con Gary Moore en sustitución de Robbo: otro ausente fue Brian Downey, quien afirmaría: "Yo estaba totalmente exhausto" [...] "Yo simplemente no podía soportarlo más, no quería ver otro escenario en mi vida, y desde luego no quería ir a Australia, como se había propuesto." La banda reservó a Mark Nauseef (baterista de la Ian Gillan Band) para la ocasión, como reemplazo de Brian para el tour. Al final de la gira de 1978, Phil, Scott, Gary y el ahora descansado Brian Downey, se reunieron en Londres y París para trabajar en el siguiente LP, "Black Rose: A Rock Legend", finalmente lanzado en 1979: la pieza central de la obra fue la canción homónima, titulada -en gaélico- "Roisin Dubh".De nuevo en la carretera en los EE. UU., las fricciones dentro de la banda crecieron y dieron lugar a que Gary Moore fuese reemplazado abruptamente por Midge Ure en medio de la gira. El guitarrista Dave Flett, ex Manfred Mann's Earth Band, fue incorporado también a bordo para las fechas en Japón, lo que permitió a Midge cambiar a los teclados para algunas canciones, y permitió a los espectadores apreciar el fenómeno de tres guitarras solistas sobre el escenario. Después de las giras, Darren Wharton fue reclutado como teclista a tiempo completo, lo que permite a Midge honrar su compromiso anterior de unirse al grupo Ultravox. David Flett fue reemplazado por "Snowy" White en 1980, quien debutó en el álbum "Chinatown" (1980), aunque finalmente dio paso a John Sykes, que trajo consigo la energía de un joven guitarrista a Thin Lizzy. 1980 también vio el lanzamiento de "Solo in Soho", primer álbum en solitario de Phil: "Pearl Yellow" fue posteriormente elegido como tema musical del programa de la BBC Top of the Pops. Aunque catalogado como un álbum en solitario, el LP incluyó a Brian, Scott, Snowy White, Midge Ure, Mark Knopfler y Huey Lewis, entre otros. El compilado "The Adventures of Thin Lizzy" fue lanzado en 1981 y fue disco de oro en el Reino Unido, esto fue seguido de "Renegade", el nuevo álbum editado ese mismo año, junto con una gira. Thin Lizzy además encabezó el primer Festival de Slane, en Irlanda, con el apoyo de artistas como U2, Hazel O'Connor o Rose Tattoo. Las decepcionantes ventas, tanto de "Renegade" como del segundo álbum en solitario de Phil, precipitaron una gira de despedida, para coincidir con el lanzamiento de "Thunder and Lightning" (1983), aunque tanto el nuevo disco como las fechas en vivo fueron todo un éxito, y causaron un resurgimiento del interés por el grupo. Con John Sykes ahora a bordo del viaje, el tour duró casi un año, y culminó en una función de gala en el Hammersmith Odeon, con invitados especiales. El álbum doble en vivo "Life" recoge esta joya en directo, aunque el disco recibió una edición tardía. El último concierto de Thin Lizzy en el Reino Unido fue el 28 de agosto de 1983, en el Festival de Reading. Su concierto de despedida fue el 4 de septiembre de ese año en el Monsters of Rock Festival, en Nuremberg, Alemania.

Chart Music #55: 23.12.1982 – Hygge PopThe latest episode of the podcast which asks: why hasn’t London got a Revels World?It’s getting to look a lot like Christmas, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, and you know what that means: the Nanas of the Kingdom start fiddling with their purses at the counter of HMV and encrust our beloved charts with the mung of novelty. We can’t lie: this episode of The Pops has been freshly squeezed from the very ringpiece of the cat, and no amount of live weather reports from Kid Jensen or the appearance of a little Mediterranean Santa can distract us from that.Musicwise, oof: Lol Mason fiddles about with the watch pocket of his slacks. David Bowie – the Death Angel of 1977 – has a fiddle on Bing Crosby’s posh English cousin’s piano for an awkward chat about kids, before flouncing off to EMI. Incantation perform the Andean puffalong Knees Up Madre Brown. The Double-Denimed Defender of Heterosexual Rock n’ Roll makes his balcony speech. The Seventies officially die as Abba make their last stand for the benefit of Noel Edmonds. Then the Seventies rip themselves from the grave for this year’s Number One. And there’s Modern Romance. And Orville. And Zoo.Neil Kulkarni and Rock Expert David Stubbs – the Dads of Chart Music - join Al Needham for a grim death-march into the dark side of 1982, breaking off on such tangents as being parodied on BBC sketch shows two decades ago, the revelation that teachers never gave a toss about you, what Shakin’ Stevens’ version of the Fool’s Gold loaf would be, how to feed your children with promo vinyl, why Imagination should have been denied trousers, and invite you to contemplate in your mind’s eye the image of your parents having sex to the sounds of Renee and Renato.

From its launch in 1967, right through the 70's to the mid 80's...BBC Radio 1 was probably the world's biggest music station! In this edition of the series Shaun Tilley introduces you to DJ Kid Jensen, one of the many people behind the network's success during those golden years as he tells the story of ‘his' Radio 1!!

#47: 25/12/77 – The Last Supper Of ShowaddywaddyA sort-of-festive episode of the podcast which asks: Jesus, why do we always leave this to the last minute instead of doing it in August like everyone else?It’s the arse-end of the year, and you know what that means, Pop-Crazed Youngsters: another ram of our hands into the Quality Street tin of a Xmas TOTP. This year, it’s 1977, which means that Noel Edmonds has taken one of his suits that all look the same out of the wardrobe – but this year he’s joined by Kid Jensen, in full Stylistics clobber. No trifle-related interplay this year, then, but it’s quadruple overtime for the Top Of The Pops Orchestra, who have stashed a dozen or so Party Sevens under their chairs to keep them going, and Team ATVland (combined age: 19) are sulking that they can’t hook their Binatone Pong to the telly, moaning that their Ricochet Racers isn’t much cop, and leafing through the 1978 Starsky and Hutch annual and dreaming of chocolate pancakes respectively. There were some astonishing singles that came out in ’77, but musicwise, and bar a couple of exceptions, this is your Nana’s Top Of The Pops. Showaddywaddy pretend to have a futuristic buffet. Some kids are bussed into White City to wave a tassel on a stick (or just the stick). David Soul’s head floats in space. Johnny Mathis pops up again. You can hear Kenny Rogers’ arse as he lowers it onto a wicker bar stool. And oh God, it’s Manhattan Transfer. But here come Abba, Space, Denice Williams, Hot Chocolate, and the return of Floyd Flipper as a fruity Santa! Oh, and there’s Paul McCartney’s Living Shortbread Tin and Bing Crosby. It’s a massive, sixteen-song evisceration, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, done with the care and attention you’ve come to expect from the little elves of Chart Music.Neil Kulkarni and Taylor Parkes join Al Needham for a long, hard stare at the winners circle of 1977, complete with such tangents as the Showaddywaddy Hanky Code, Lobbing It Out on Channel 4, assuming French is just English you don’t know yet, the gang war between Brighouse and Rastrick, Space Crumpet, when it’s time to finally let go of the Radio Times Xmas issue, and a chance to see someone from Chart Music looking like a massive potato on telly very soon.

Trevor Dann talks to Kid Jensen about his recent diagnosis with Parkinson’s Disease, his continuing success on air and Mike Read's charity fundraising walk which he’s inspired. Includes the latest radio news with Stuart Clarkson and David Lloyd's Radio Moments.

The latest edition of the podcast which asks: if the Thompson Twins made you a sandwich, would you want to eat it? It’s Christmas Time, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, but there’s no need to be afraid – because we’re a full year away from any Band Aid rubbishness. It’s the last episode of The Pops before Xmas of 1983, and the studio is festooned with balloons and party hats, making it just like every other episode that year. And what a line-up – sneered at by John Peel and jollied along by Kid Jensen – it isn’t! Musicwise, this is the mankiest Selection Box of teeth-loosening dessicated cat shit we’ve come across in a long while. Out go the Synth-mentalists of a few years ago, and in come in bare-footed, frizz-haired Serious Musicians. Terry and Arfur pop up to flog one of the crappiest Christmas songs ever, a Breakfast TV puppet with johnnies for ears defiles hip-hop, and Paul McCartney has a war with himself. On the plus side, Billy Joel goes back 20 years to leer at some girls having a pyjama party, Slade go back ten years and ignore a couple of Zoo Wankers, and Culture Club put a full orchestra in serious danger.  And the No.1 is properly right-on. Neil Kulkarni and Simon Price join Al Needham for this one, and have a good stare through the window of late 1983 like Dickensian urchins, breaking off to discuss such important matters as sex education videos of the 80s, running into Mrs McCluskey in a charity shop, asking lead singers how to get to Wales while they’re nobbing someone up against a tour bus, and the curse of Sta-Prest Fanny. With all the swearing you could ever want.    See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The thirteenth go-around of the podcast which asks: Showaddywaddy? Again? Really? This episode, Pop-Crazed Youngsters, finally sees the good ship Chart Music sail way past the three-hour exclusion zone – but it can’t be helped, because the episode of Thursday Evening Pop Valhalla we dissect here is a classic. Some of the big guns of the Seventies are pulled out, but are immediately bricked by snotty New Wave oiks in charity shop clothes, the foul spell of Revolting and Neutron-Bomb is banished forever, and Kid Jensen looks on from his Fortress of Solitude in approval and then asks some girls if they think he’s sexy. And they say ‘No’. Musicwise, everything you’d expect from ’78 that isn’t caked in Grease is here. Freddie Mercury points out that he likes big butts and he cannot lie, Child pitch up in Brian Tilsley haircuts, Elton John looks like a droog suffering a mid-life crisis as Cathy McGowan sits at his feet, Elvis Costello calls Tony Blackburn a ‘silly man’ while pretending to take drugs, Debbie Harry stares at us unnervingly over a carrier bag, Heatwave drop an era-defining wedding song while dressed up as Turkish waiters, and the Boomtown Rats bring the Ted-Punk wars of the Kings Road into every playground in the country. And there’s Toast. Al Needham is joined by Neil Kulkarni and Taylor Parkes for a rigorous examination of a classic episode of The Pops, veering off on tangents which include worrying about your Dad being got at by Peter Sutcliffe, cardboard cut-outs of Roy Race, the time when the BBC made you put stickers on your radio, and a discussion on Dean Friedman’s seduction technique that went on a lot longer than it really needed to. Swearing a-plenty! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

David talks about his years as a DJ at BBC Radio 1

Tim Jibson tells Trevor Dann about the Radio Reunion and his own business Adventures In Radio. Mike Read, Kid Jensen, Stuart Coleman and Adrian Juste reminisce, Roy Martin has news, David Lloyd's in the archives and (sharp intake of breath) we have new jingles!

The convergence of the AM networks across the UK is a complex tale. Each of the original commercial stations, compelled by the regulator to do something more useful on their AM frequencies, generally chose to launch oldies stations of various flavours. Individual names like Supergold, WGMS, Brunel and GEM.AM gradually evolved into a mighty GWR network of Classic Gold stations, which was nothing to do with the original Yorkshire Radio Network ‘Classic Gold’ station. Meanwhile, At that time, Bauer were merrily amalgamating their AM stations into a Magic AM network, which was nothing to do with the London soft AC of the same name. Capital was assembling its own Capital Gold network too, comprising all its AM offerings such as Xtra-AM, WABC and South Coast Radio. Come August 2007, with GWR and Capital merged into GCap, their two AM networks Gold and Classic Gold became simply Gold. With the new name came programme changes, and here David ‘Kid’ Jensen hosts his last morning show after five year in the slot and prepares to begin the breakfast show. As a sunny day comes to an end, he generously pays tribute too to his colleagues who won’t be part of the new plans. Not sure if he took his competition with him. The single 'Gold' launched at 7 pm on 3rd August 2007, as the stations joined the sustaining service which was to be itself.

Steve Wright, I suspect, is not the only disc jockey who fancies playing favourite old jingles of another radio station on his show and singing along with them. Here is, with Radio Luxembourg jingles in all their glory on BBC Radio 2 as he, together with Tony Prince, Kid Jensen and Pete Murray, reminisce about Fabulous 208, a station which played a huge part in all their lives.

This week on Unfinished Business, I had planned to talk with Paul Boag about client briefs and managing expectations. But when we sat down to talk, we were both in the mood to talk about something much, more personal. We discussed how we feel about how Twitter has changed, Erin Kissane’s ‘Ditching Twitter,’ Dan Edwards’ ‘Treading through treacle’ and our general sense of melancholy about our industry. Then we talk about how, contrary to what we often hear, our industry is filled with acts of kindness. We discuss how we maintain our optimism and the steps we take to protect ourselves emotionally. If you think you know Paul and I from our public personas, I think that you’ll be very surprised by this episode. If you haven’t listened to Unfinished Business for a while (or at all) I urge you to listen this week.
