PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over +22,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

Shades of a Blue Orphanage has it's highs. Although there are many basic and unmemorable blues rock songs on the album, tracks like "Baby Face," "The Rise and Dear Demise of the Funky Nomadic Tribes" take it up a notch and deliver genuinely great, heavy blues rock. "Shades of a Blue Orphanage" is also a very good song, if not a bit too long for it's own good. My favorite track on the album is without a doubt "Chatting Today." It almost rings of something that could have been on Jailbreak. The acoustic guitar work from Bell is fantastic, Lynott's vocals are lovely, and there's a sense of passion that can be found in the song unlike several other tracks on the album.
Brian Downey's greatest drumming work is featured on this album. The intro to the album's opening track "The Rise and Dear Demise of the Funky Nomadic Tribes" features very intriguing and unique percussion work. Downey's drumming in it's full glory.
Phil Lynott is also in terrific form - fantastic with his commanding trademark vocal style fitting the world of hard blues rock perfectly. Also adding outstanding bass work throughout the album which unfortunately sometimes gets lost in the production. His bass skills are evident in the strong "Call the Police" climbing the neck of his bass in his drives
- Brian Downey and Phil Lynott's great performances included, guitarist Eric Bell improvises and delivers shining solos throughout. By Thin Lizzy standards, the album actually has quite a few strong tracks on both sides making for one of their most varied albums
