On Parole (The Alternative Mixes)

Description

On Parole (Alternate Mix) features the very first recordings of Motörhead, captured between 1975 and 1976 when the band was still in its early days. Originally released in 1979 by United Artists Records, this historic album immortalizes the band's first incarnation with Lemmy Kilmister on bass and vocals, Larry Wallis (Pink Fairies) on guitar, and Phil Taylor and Lucas Fox on drums on Lost Johnny. These new alternate mixes created in 2026 by Richard Digby Smith are available for the first time on vinyl, offering a new perspective on the origins of Motörhead's unique sound.
