40th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set Celebration Of The Loudest, Dirtiest Rock 'n' Roll Of 1979!
'Overkill' & 'Bomber' Albums Half-Speed Mastered On 180g Vinyl LP!
2 Live Concerts On 4LP & 1 LP Of B-Sides, Outtakes & Rare Tracks + 7" Single!

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 albums Overkill and Bomber were ten times more powerful than their first album Motörhead, which was a killer in itself. 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.

The live material is really the draw here. Neither record sounds as meaty and in your face as the band's monumental No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith, but it does catch the band at their loosest and goofiest. Lemmy toys with the crowds at both gigs between songs and gives his bandmates the business. When they finally tear into a song, it's like trying to grab hold of a freight train at cruising speed. No other band was better at adding some hair to the driving tempos of punk and taking the piss out of the doomy intentions of Sabbath and Priest. Spend ample time with the booklet included in the set while you're at it. The booklet includes some reproductions of hyperbolic articles written about the band in the British music rags as well as some remembrances from members of their road crew and a perfect tribute essay from, of all people, Peter Hook of New Order. A treat for fans and new listeners alike.
