Overkill

Product Information

Long term fans will really enjoy the Live at Aylesbury Friars live cd, with songs from the ‘Motorhead ‘album , and ‘Overkill’ itself , and a smattering of choice covers that fit the band like a glove ( John Mayall’s I’m Your Witch Doctor, Johnny Burnette’s Train Kept A’ Rollin, and Hawkwind’s ‘The Watcher’) . All image and audio content is used by permission of the copyright holders or their agents, and/or according to fair dealing as per the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. To some ‘The Game’ is now the definitive Motörhead anthem, but no-one can deny the awesome majesty of the ‘Ace Of Spades’ title-track.

Nor has the passing of 40 years dimmed their first album in which they first defined their swinging freakbeat. There will be hardback book-packs in two CD and triple LP formats, featuring an amplifier blowing remaster of the original album, previously unreleased demo bonus tracks and a previously unreleased, full concert recorded at Hull City Hall on June 22, 1983, plus the story of the album and many previously unseen photos. While I suspect Cameron Webb has done wonders and there is no one better at understanding the Motorhead sound, if it is a soundboard, there is nothing that can be tweaked too much if say, a guitar solo is half buried, as that is how it would have sounded on the night. With a release date set for August 21, we were under pressure to complete the artwork so it could be rushed to the printers. What I would have wanted was slightly thinner paper but more pages as it is a very thick guage paper so it included more live colour photos of the band in action.The album is a collection of soul music gems, that celebrate the legendary songbooks of Gamble and Huff, Motown, Stax and. The Castle has a stronger bass, whereas the Road Racer seems slightly clearer in the higher frequencies. 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. Again, nice edition, superb quality, as per remaster - you may like it or not; I do and I look forward to Another Perfect Day deluxe.

What a shame it was never released in their lifetime of the band, but as we know Lemmy would have probably blocked it, not being one to look back. From Hawkwind, Lemmy brought Motorhead, The Watcher and Lost Johnny, each in its own way a version of the band’s speed experience. Celebrating it’s 40 th anniversary, 'Another Perfect Day' is the sixth studio album by British rock band Motörhead.

Ted promises that long-time Motörhead fans will love these alternate takes, especially the version of ‘Motörhead’ with a steaming guitar solo from Eddie Clarke.

Stars - Good - "OVERKILL pretty much set the tone for the next 10 years of Motorhead's career-Clarke's guitars doing their best to expand on Lemmy's extraordinarily terse bass lines. Check out this previously unreleased live version of ‘One Track Mind’ recorded live at Hull City Hall in 1983! He had come up with the Motörhead armour-plated pig’s head, Snaggletooth, after a discussion with Lemmy some months earlier. Unlike the Castle the Road Racer benefits from 3 bonus tracks, Too Late Too Late, Tear Ya Down (an alternate instrumental take, labelled as the "original version") and Louie Louie.Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers.

It's a wall of sound just like at their live gigs so I doubt its a multi track live recording, but more likely a sound board recording. Iron Fist' is repositioned as a vital snapshot of Motörhead at a crucial period when they found themselves caught in the tornado ignited by success and, in true Motörhead style, careered into their. The story of Iron Fist, told through previously unpublished and new interviews with the people that were there at the time. The album Overkill and was ten times more powerful than their first album Motrhead, which was a killer in itself.

It was decided to use a new piece of artwork designed by the American graphic artist Joe Petagno, who was already a Motörhead fan.
