title? Motorhead - Motorhead | [White Vinyl LP] | Chiswick

Description:


40th anniversary of the very first Motörhead album, originally released on 21 August 1977. This debut album from Motorhead was cut over a few speed-driven days at Escape Studio, and it shows. From the opening bass roar of the eponymous title track it is non stop, relentless, churning, brain damaging, heavy rock'n'roll. This is no ponderous heavy metal band fronted by some poodle-headed castrato - no this is the real deal, down dirty and greasy and with its boots firmly rooted in rock'n'roll. Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister had the right background to finally create Motorhead in 1975. Brought up on rock'n'roll in the 50s he had been a member of the Shel Talmy-produced beat group the Rockin' Vicars, had a stint as roadie for Jimi Hendrix and was then in Roundhouse favourites Sam Gopal's Dream in 1969, before joining the ultimate psychedelic weirdos Hawkwind.LP - A special facsimile edition of Motorhead’s first album. The silver logo and white vinyl release echoes Chiswick’s original 1977 release. Includes a fully illustrated inner sleeve.CD - 20-track digipak (with silver logo) CD which includes previously unheard recordings from the original album sessions. This new release is an expanded version of the original album with the addition of 7 previously unissued recordings made at the Escape Studio sessions on 28 and 29 April 1977. These previously unissued recordings were discovered when the original album tapes were taken out of storage for the first time in 35 years. In addition to the nine tracks from the original LP and four tracks from the Beerdrinkers EP, the new CD has seven alternate takes of well-loved Motorhead songs, namely, Lost Johnny, City Kids, Witch Doctor, The Watcher, White Line Fever, Keep Us On The Road and Motörhead. It also comes with a new 4000-word note by Ted Carroll.
