About

Mötley Crüe, Los Angeles glam metal pioneers since 1981.

35 vinyls tracked including 1989’s Dr. Feelgood with Norwegian remasters and rare pressings.

Originating in Los Angeles, Mötley Crüe is a seminal glam metal and hard rock band founded by Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee. The lineup quickly solidified with Mick Mars and Vince Neil joining on guitar and vocals respectively. Their music combines heavy riffs, flashy aesthetics, and theatrical live shows, reflecting the glitzy yet gritty 1980s rock scene. The band released several influential albums and built a devoted fan base through relentless touring and a hard-partying image.

Their discography includes landmark albums like Too Fast For Love (1981), Shout At The Devil (1983), Theatre Of Pain (1985), Girls, Girls, Girls (1987), and Dr. Feelgood (1989).
