Solo in Soho is the first solo album by Philip Lynott, released while he was still in Thin Lizzy. Current and former Lizzy members guested on the album including Scott Gorham, Brian Downey, Snowy White, and Gary Moore. Brian Robertson also contributed to the writing of "Girls".
"Tattoo (Giving It All Up for Love)" was covered by Huey Lewis and the News on their sophomore album, Picture This.
Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler plays on "King's Call", a lament to Elvis Presley. Huey Lewis plays harmonica on "Tattoo (Giving It All Up For Love)" and "Ode To A Black Man". Lewis later covered the former on his 1982 album, Picture This.
"Yellow Pearl" was released as a single in two remixed versions - the first of these being later used as the theme tune from 1981–1986 for the British music TV programme Top of the Pops. This version was later included on Lynott's second solo album The Philip Lynott Album.
