40th Anniversary Vinyl 3LP Reissue Remastered from the Original Tapes with Previously Unreleased Bonus Concert and 20 Page Bookpack!
Motörhead in 1981 was a band of extremes; a flammable mix of non-stop celebration over their rising success and punishing graft, underscored by an inter-band powder-keg dynamic. After recording Ace Of Spades, it had shot to No. 4 in the UK; the killer breakthrough after Overkill and Bomber had done essential groundwork, late 1980s Ace Up Your Sleeve UK tour was a triumphant lap of honor that spilled into the recording of No Sleep Til Hammersmith. The album took its title from an inscription painted on one of the trucks, referencing the 32 gigs they were playing with only two days off.
The track listing ended up featuring three tracks from Ace Of Spades, five from Overkill, Bombers title track and two from their self-titled debut. Originally released in June 1981, Lemmy is quoted as saying, I knew itd be the live one that went best, because were really a live band. You cant listen to a record and find out what were about. Youve got to see us. Upon release No Sleep Til Hammersmith went straight to No. 1, their first and only in the UK and is still the most necessary live album of all time.
This new 40th anniversary vinyl 3LP reissue of No Sleep Til Hammersmith was remastered from the original tapes. The set also includes a live album of a newly unearthed, previously unreleased concert from the Short Sharp Pain In The Neck tour plus a 20 page bookpack.
