'Blueprint' is the third album by Irish guitarist Rory Gallagher, released as a vinyl record in 1973. With his first band Taste and with his solo band up to this point Gallagher was one of the first guitarists to lead a power trio lineup. With 'Blueprint', Rory Gallagher included a keyboardist for the first time.



For 'Blueprint' drummer Wilgar Campbell was replaced with Rod de'Ath and Lou Martin, the keyboardist from de'Ath's previous band Killing Floor, was added too.



This four piece line-up was to be one of Gallagher's most successful resulting in many of his most popular songs and documented in live film and TV appearances on shows such as Rockpalast and the Old Grey Whistle Test. The band would play together for five years in this line-up.
