A comprehensive collection titled ‘The Best Of Rory Gallagher’ is to be released by UMC on 9 October. The package contains 30 tracks, including a previously unreleased collaboration with Jerry Lee Lewis.

The compilation covers Rory’s most iconic songs from his first band Taste (1969) through to his final studio album ‘Fresh Evidence’ (1990).

Included in the package is a bonus track of ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’, recorded with Jerry Lee Lewis on his famous 1973 ‘London Sessions’. The previously unreleased track is part of the 2CD version of the album and the digital download, but is also available as a limited edition 7″ vinyl single.

The 7″ vinyl cover features an archive photo of Rory and Jerry Lee Lewis, with the ‘B’ side ‘Cruise On Out’ taken from Rory’s 1978 album ‘Photo Finish’.
