Motörhead: 30th Anniversary Deluxe Expanded Editions
Available November 11th through Sanctuary Records

Classic Motörhead Albums Receive Special Treatment With Bonus Tracks, Re-Mastering And
Extensive Liner Notes


30 years ago, a man called “Lemmy” created something ugly, loud and legendary. That
something was Motörhead.

In celebration of three decades of one of the most underrated, influential, and
downright noisy bands to ever walk the face of the planet, Sanctuary Records presents
commemorative, 30th anniversary editions of some of Motörhead’s most important and
memorable albums, as well as a collection of BBC archive recordings and vintage
performances from the 70s and 80s. Overkill, Bomber, Ace Of Spades, Iron Fist and No
Remorse have all been faithfully restored and enhanced for the momentous occasion.

Debuting in 1976 after Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister was unceremoniously ejected from the
space-rock band Hwawkwind, Motörhead was certainly something “different”.
“Different” in a good way, of course. The band invented a musical genre known,
appropriately enough, as “speed metal”. Fast, crude, in-your-face and abrasive as
hell, there had never been anything else quite like Motörhead.

With the release of Overkill in 1979, Motörhead introduced the lineup that would create
some of the most important hard music albums ever written: Lemmy on bass and grinding
vocal duties, “Fast” Eddie Clarke on guitar and “Philthy” Phil Taylor on drums.
It seems only fitting that the first album to feature this legendary unit should receive
the deluxe edition treatment. Such memorable tracks as “Overkill”, “Stay
Clean”, “Damage Case” and “Tear Ya Down” are given a high- profile
presentation, while a second disc of bonus tracks, including b-sides and BBC radio
performances makes this release worth having.

Bomber, Motörhead’s second 1979 release and the album made famous by the unique
“bomber” shaped lighting rig that highlighted the accompanying tour, features such
awesome songs as “Bomber” and “Stone Dead Forever”, as well as a bonus disc
featuring b-sides, alternate versions of album tracks, and the “Golden Years” EP.

1980’s Ace Of Spades again features fully re-mastered takes of the entire original
album, including the seminal title track, perhaps Motörhead’s most well-known anthem,
as well as multiple alternate versions of many of the album’s standout tracks and BBC
radio session outtakes.

Iron Fist, originally released in 1982, features a bonus disc with a full live set
performed in 1982 at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto.

No Remorse, a “best-of” collection originally released in 1984, now features bonus
tracks “Under The Knife”, “Masterplan” and two tracks “No Class” and
“Stand By Your Man” with guest vocals by shock rock icon Wendy O’Williams.
Finally, the BBC Live & In-Session features 2 discs comprising 5 unique BBC recording
sessions of Motörhead classics recorded between 1978 and 1986.

In 30 years, Motörhead has done as much as any ten lesser bands and is still going
strong. Such a unique legacy deserves recognition and celebration, and the 30th
Anniversary Deluxe Expanded Editions are an appropriate tribute to such a storied career.
