Dirty Fingers

Dirty Fingers is the third solo studio album by Irish guitarist Gary Moore. It was recorded in 1981, shortly after Moore disbanded his G-Force project, but was not released until 1983, and even then only in Japan, where Moore was very popular. It finally saw a European release in 1984.
