In 1976, the seminal lineup of Motörhead was solidified a year after the band's initial inception. The three amigos era of Motörhead; Lemmy (bass/vocals), Fast Eddie Clarke (guitar) and Phil Philthy Animal Taylor (drums), joined forces and began their extraordinary journey to the top of the hard rock elite. In August of that year, the band set up at Emerson, Lake & Palmer's legendary Manticore Studio in Fulham to rehearse and showcase their new lineup. Now, 49 years after recording there for the first time, the long-lost tape has been discovered, dusted off and restored in all it's raw glory to celebrate the band's 50th anniversary. Featuring 11 tracks, including additional alternate takes and instrumentals for a unique insight into the birth of this legendary band. Available on silver color vinyl. Limited Edition.
