Back on the Streets is an album by Northern Irish blues-rock guitarist Gary Moore, released in 1978, and his first authentic solo record (1973's Grinding Stone album being credited to "The Gary Moore Band"). Thin Lizzy bassist/vocalist Phil Lynott and drummer Brian Downey appear on four songs, including "Don't Believe A Word" (which originally appeared on the 1976 Thin Lizzy album Johnny the Fox) and the UK top 10 single "Parisienne Walkways". On the album's sleeve, Moore is depicted leaving notorious prison Wormwood Scrubs in the Inner London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in a photograph by Chalkie Davies.
Later versions of the CD, and download versions of the album, contain additional tracks:
Download versions additionally contain an otherwise unnamed bonus track 9.
An alternative CD release, also titled Back on the Streets but with a different cover, contains a revised playing order and additional track ("Spanish Guitar") available on later issues of the original recording CD.
Yet another release with the same title, but no other apparent connection to the original album, is a 2003 compilation of Gary Moore's greatest hits.*** EU/Germany - Universal Records - 0600753418734 - 27th September 2013
