Motörhead : On Parole (Remastered and Expanded)

THEY LOCKED ME UP,

PUT ME AWAY

SAID

" YOU'RE GONNA GET OUT IN FOREVER AND A DAY"

 On Parole

 is a studio 

recording 

released by

 British Rock band 

Motörhead

 which at the time

 consisted of

 Lemmy Kilmister

 on vocals 

and bass, 

Larry Wallis 

on guitar, 

and

 Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor

 on drums

 (replacing Lucas Fox). 

It was intended

 as their first album 

and left unreleased

 at the time 

of its 

completion in 1976, 

and it was

 not released 

until over

 three years later,

 in November 1979, 

after the

 commercial success

 of 

Overkill 

and

and

 Bomber

 that same year. 

It was released 

without the 

band's permission, 

and they

 consequently 

distanced themselves

 from it.

  As a result, 

it was not considered 

an official release 

by the band

 at the time 

and they 

did not want

 it released,

 as they

 had moved on, 

since then,

 first to

 Chiswick Records 

and then to

 Bronze Records. 

The LP 

entered the 

UK charts

 on December,8th

 where it peaked 

at No. 65.

With guitarist

 "Fast" Eddie Clark

 replacing 

Larry Wallis,

 most of 

On Parole's 

songs were

 re-recorded

 in April 1977, 

and they became 

the band's

 official first album, 

Motörhead, 

released 

the same year.

Background

On Parole

 is the 

only album

 to feature

 the band's 

original line-up

 of 

Lemmy 

on vocals 

and bass,

 Larry Wallis 

on guitar

 and vocals, 

and

 Lucas Fox

 on drums.

 Motörhead

 signed a deal 

with

 United Artists 

when manager 

Douglas Smith 

secured a deal 

with the label's 

A&R man 

Andrew Lauder,

 both men

 having worked together

 for Lemmy's 

previous group

 Hawkwind. 

During the sessions, 

original producer

 Dave Edmunds 

relinquished his duties,

 being replaced by

 Fritz Fryer. 

Fox left 

the band as 

recording was nearing

 its conclusion 

and was 

replaced by

 Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor, 

a casual acquaintance

 Lemmy had met

 through

 the local "speed" scene.

 Taylor had been 

persuaded to

 drive him to

 Rockfield Studios

 and

 "bring his drum kit", 

as he had boasted

 to Lemmy

 that he was 

a drummer.

 Taylor was given

 the job 

and set about 

overdubbing all

 of Fox's

 previously recorded

 drum tracks 

with the exception of 

"Lost Johnny"

 ( which was co-written with Mick Farren ),

 as he was being held

 in jail 

following an arrest 

for alleged

 drunk-and-disorderly 

conduct 

when that session

 was due to

 take place.

Taylor had taken

 a job painting 

a houseboat

 and his 

foreman happened

 to be 

"Fast" Eddie Clarke. 

When Taylor

 mentioned that he had

 just joined

 Motörhead, 

Clarke was intrigued, 

having read about

 the band. 

Clarke told Taylor

 that he was a

 guitarist 

but didn't mention

 that he had 

recorded two albums

 with 

Curtis Knight. 

When Motörhead

 guitarist

 Wallis floated

 the idea of 

adding a 

second guitarist

 to the band, 

Taylor recommended

 Clarke, 

and the band

 briefly became a

 four-piece

 for the first time. 

Wallis' interest

 in the band 

was rapidly fading 

and he soon left, 

and

 Motörhead 

were a

 trio once more.
