Blue Murder is the debut album by the hard rock band Blue Murder, released in 1989.

Contents

Legacy

The back of the album states that it is dedicated to Phil Lynott. John Sykes had played with Thin Lizzy in the past, and often credits Lynott with being a huge inspiration. Many of the lyrical themes contained in the album echo those of Thin Lizzy as well.

Track listing

The album was reissued by UK-based company Rock Candy Records in 2013. Initial pressings of this reissue stated that it included an extra song called "Cold Harbor" on the package, but this is simply an error on the packaging; no such song exists or appears on the reissue of the album. Later pressings corrected this, removing any reference to the song.
