Motorhead - 1979 (40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) - 2026 Reissue
A 40th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set Celebration Of The Loudest, Dirtiest Rock 'n' Roll Of 1979!
1979 was MOTÖRHEAD year - the year of Overkill and Bomber. MOTÖRHEAD, the loudest band in the world, with the power and force of a hundred pneumatic drills they destroyed the nation over and again and no-one, repeat no-one, remained unaffected by them - everyone was torn limb from limb. The production was in the capable and experienced hands of one Jimmy Miller, whose previous successes had been with the likes of the Rolling Stones. He brought out the very best in the boys and the total effect was lethal. Overkill and Bomber are real skullcrackers, brain damaging to the nth degree and with the hit singles "Overkill", "No Class" and "Bomber" you can doubtless guess the destroying effect of the whole affair. That's Motörhead, straight, basic, down to earth rock and roll, with absolutely no holds barred.
This Box Set contains the Overkill and Bomber albums - brand new half speed masters created from the original tapes for optimal lawn killing / wall-shaking dynamic range. Pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl.
Also included are Live at Friars, Aylesbury on 31st March 1979 and Live at La Rotunde, Le Mans on 3rd November 1979: Two double live albums of newly unearthed, previously unreleased concerts.
The Rest Of '79; Ten song album of B-sides, outtakes and rare tracks from 1979.
No Class; Trifold 7" of the No Class single with all three of the original cover variations.
