NOTES

Compact disc

The lost Motörhead album from August 1976 is released in celebration of the band's 50th anniversary. It features the classic "Three Amigos" lineup: Lemmy Kilmister, "Fast" Eddie Clarke, and Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor, recording together for the first time at Manticore Studio, owned by Emerson, Lake & Palmer. The album includes early versions of tracks that later appeared on Motörhead and On Parole, showcasing the band's raw, high-energy sound before their official debut. The recordings have been restored and mastered by longtime Motörhead collaborator Cameron Webb
