A supergroup of sorts, with former and future members of THIN LIZZY, RAINBOW and UFO, WILD HORSES left a scarce legacy of only two albums, but those two records remain interesting. Sure, people expect more from the collective Brian Robertson and Jimmy Bain envisaged as their hard rock vehicle that Clive Edwards and Neil Carter helped realize – although the latter was replaced after the band’s Trevor Rabin-produced 1980 debut – with Phil Lynott never far away from his friends, yet what they left behind deserves to be anthologized and assessed in its entirety. So a six-disc box set scheduled for release on February 13th, 2026 is going to become a treat for many aficionados.
Titled “Standing Our Ground: Complete Recordings 1978-1981” and adding a lot of studio rarities, including demos, and two concerts to the two longplays, presented in original and new mixes, it promises to deliver a lot of delights.
