Motorhead did it first. Motorhead did it best - this album proves it. I've ALWAYS owned "Motorhead" in one form or another (I still have my original LP on White Vinyl). "Lost Johnny" and "Iron Horse" are as good as it gets! If you're a 40 something, buy it now and remember how good it was the first time you heard it. If you're young, buy it now and further your education!

This CD is the very first Motorhead album, digitally remastered. It has all eight original tracks plus the the b-side "City Kids" from the single "Motorhead", and four extra tracks from the session which were released in 1980 as the "Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers" EP. The packaging is normal jewel case, one disc. Liner notes are by Ted Carroll, who was the big cheese at Chiswick records, the label the original release was on. The history is well observed and written, detailing the evolution of the band leading up to the release of the album. The music? Blistering. This is what started all the hard loud, what's happened to my stereo? rock. This is music that appealed at the time to anybody with an open mind. If you liked Sabbath, The Ramones, Zeppelin, The Pistols. You loved Motorhead. It's the same now. Korn, Papa Roach, Limp Bizkit, Slayer? Forget it. This sets the standard. The opening bass rumble of "Motorhead", The lyric "Sunrise/Wrong side of another day". You are in seventh heaven. The sound on remastering? No digital sheen here. Every dirty chord is revealed, giving the listener more of the experience. On vinyl I was completely swept up. On this remaster I'm in the music.And I don't wanna leave!

The first 'real' Motorhead album, the whole thing was supposedly recorded in one take, 'No Sleep 'Til it's Finished' style, this is what its all about. Worth the price for the bass on 'Keep Us On The Road', contains THE biker (real or dreamer) anthem 'Born To Lose' ( we don't get to Live To Win 'til several years later, do we?) A couple of tracks written while the man still worked as a night hawk (if only the 'Wind versions were as good as these...) and just a load of mad rock 'n' roll. Bon Jovi it ain't! Put your precious White Vinyl Fever copy away somewhere safe, stick this in the hole, crank the volume up to 11 and disappear into a Smirnoff/ Marlboro powered nightmare. Motorhead, Remember Me....someone pass the Listerine, I've just got to join in.....

Recorded in just two days, Motorhead's often overlooked debut album from 1977 is a dirty and raucous collision of Punk attitude and Biker rock.
The song selection is a mixture of covers and Motorhead originals. Of the former; Vibrator and City Kids were penned by Motorhead's first guitarist, ex-Pink Fairy Larry Wallis (who departed the band after playing on an earlier version of this album which at the time was shelved by UA Records). These two tracks have quite a Punky edge. Musically they would have sat perfectly well on the debut albums of The Damned, Clash or Jam - although only The Damned would have gotten away with unchanged lyrics for Vibrator and retained any measure of credibility! Wallis also penned On Parole, a chugging R&B precursor to the later turbocharged likes of Going To Brazil and Bye Bye Bitch. Lemmy managed to cover himself on this album, revamping three tracks from his old Space Rock band Hawkind with Motorhead, Lost Johnny and The Watcher. Train Kept A' Rolling and I'm Your Witchdoctor are covers of 1960's R&B standards, coated with some extra Motorhead grime. Beer Drinkers and Hellraisers is a ZZ Top cover. Yep, the same ZZ Top who, with the aid of constant MTV video rotation in the 1980's, bludgeoned the world into submission with the synthesied radio-friendly Pop-Rock of Sharp Dressed Man and Legs. This track however is taken from the band's earlier days when they were still true to their Bluesier roots.

Motorhead's iconic debut, a thoroughly excellent album,this edition is remastered,although in truth,its a shambolic production which no amount of remastering is going to hide,still thats part of the charm,it aint refined,its rough and ready,possibly the purest example of Motorhead's heavy metal punk n roll.
Thundering from the speakers,the title track remains one the bands finest,the entire Motorhead experience crystalised in one exhilarating moment.Highlights aplenty,the biker anthem 'Ironhorse/Born To Lose',the superb cover of 'Train Kept A Rollin', whilst 'Keep us on the Road,is a well kept secret,another fantastic track.
As well as the title track there were 2 other Hawkwind tracks,'Lost Johnny' & 'The Watcher',both totally different to the 'Wind versions,stunning.
At this price,this is a bargain,well worth purchasing at under a fiver.

Remastered!!!!!
Surely remastering the first Motorhead album is sacrilege?! It's charm has always been the fact that it was so bad that it bordered on genius? Read more
