Motorhead No Sleep til Hammersmith 2CD Digibook

Description

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 number four 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 honour 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’, ‘Bomber’s title track and two from their self-titled debut. Originally released on 27th June 1981, Lemmy is quoted as saying of it 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 tosee us. Upon release ‘No Sleep Til Hammersmith’ went straight to number one, their first and only in the UK and is still the most necessary live album of all time.
This 2CD mediabook of the ‘No Sleep Til Hammersmith’ album contains brand new remaster created from the original tapes. 2CD 24 page mediabook. Includes a live album of a newly unearthed, previously unreleased concert from the Short Sharp Pain In The Neck tour.
