Back on the Streets is the debut solo album by Northern Irish  guitarist , released in 1978.

Background

The album is Moore's first authentic solo record (1973's  album being credited to The Gary Moore Band).  bassist/vocalist  and drummer  appear on four songs, including "Don't Believe a Word" (which originally appeared on the 1976 Thin Lizzy album ) and the UK top 10 single "". On the album's sleeve, Moore is depicted leaving notorious prison  in the  Borough of  in a photograph by Chalkie Davies.

Release

The album was re-issued in 1989 by Grand Slam Records with a revised playing order and an additional track ("Spanish Guitar"). More bonus tracks were available for download and on the  Remastered CD edition of 2013. The tracks "Road of Pain" and "Track Ten" recorded in the same sessions, remain at the moment unreleased. Yet another release with title Back on the Streets, but no other apparent connection to the original album, is a 2003 compilation of Gary Moore's greatest hits.
