MOTORHEAD

Description

To celebrate Ace Records' 50th anniversary, we are thrilled to offer a 2LP version of one of the most groundbreaking and important heavy metal albums of all time. Funded and released by Chiswick Records in 1977, Motorhead's debut album was a sonic bombshell of epic proportions, capturing the musical lightning generated by Lemmy (bass/vocals), Phil Taylor (guitar), and Eddie Clarke (drums). This 2LP set not only features that classic debut album, including tracks like "White Line Fever," "Violator," and "Keep Us On The Road," but also brings together, on sides three and four, "City Kids," the "Beer Drinkers EP," as well as different mixed and alternate versions of ear-bleeding classics such as "Motorhead," "The Watcher," and "Keep Us On The Road." The album cover features a hot-foil silver replica of Joe Petagno's original Motorhead logo in all its glory. The liner notes are by Ted Carroll, who tells the reader how Chiswick Records managed to raise the money to fund the recording and put Motorhead and themselves into rock and roll history. This is a hell of a way to kick off Ace's 50th anniversary reissue schedule.
