Motörhead ; Motörhead (40th Anniversary Edition)

SUNRISE,

WRONG SIDE OF ANOTHER DAY

SKY HIGH

AND SIX THOUSAND MILES AWAY

 Motörhead

 is the debut

 studio album

 by English 

Rock band

 Motörhead

 It was released on 

 August,12th 1977

 by pub rock

 and early

 punk rock label 

Chiswick Records, 

one of the first

 for the label, 

and the band's 

only release

 under Chiswick. 

The album

 contains the

 "classic"

 Motörhead

 line-up of

 Lemmy Kilmister 

on bass

 and vocals,

 "Fast" Eddie Clarke 

on 

lead guitar, 

and

 Philthy Animal Taylor

 on drums.

 The sleeve artwork 

featured the debut

 of Snaggletooth, 

the War-Pig,

 the fanged face logo 

created by artist

 Joe Petagno 

that would become

 an icon of the band.

An earlier album, 

On Parole, 

was recorded in

 1975–76 

for United Artists, 

but was

 released in 1979.

Background

Motörhead 

hired lead guitarist

 "Fast" Eddie Clarke

 in March 1976, 

and he was originally

to serve as the band's 

second guitarist

 along with

 Larry Wallis

 in what was intended

 to be a

 four-piece lineup,

 but Wallis 

left shortly after 

for his own reasons.

 Sensing that the 

fledgling band had

 dim prospects

 for success,

 Motörhead 

decided to disband

 after playing one

 final show at the

 Marquee Club

 in London

 in April 1977. 

Ted Carroll,

 founder of the upstart 

Chiswick Records label, 

knew Lemmy well 

from his rare 

45 Record's store 

in London of which

 Lemmy was a

 frequent customer.

 Carroll decided

 to give the band 

a break and hosted 

what was to be

 their final performance 

at the

 Marquee 

on April,1st 1977. 

The decision was made

 to record the gig

Recording

Due to the 

very limited 

studio time

 afforded to the band,

 the decision was

 made to re-record 

the unreleased 

United Artists album

 almost in its entirety; 

only 

"Fools" 

and

 "Leaving Here" 

weren't re-recorded 

at the Kent sessions. 

In addition, 

two new 

self-penned compositions, 

"White Line Fever" 

and 

"Keep Us on the Road", 

were added, 

as well as a cover of

 Tiny Bradshaw's 

"Train Kept A-Rollin".

 Three tracks on

 the album were 

actually composed by

 Lemmy 

while he was still a 

member of

 Hawkwind, 

"Motorhead",

 "Lost Johnny", 

and

 "The Watcher", 

the latter a

 psychedelic 

acoustic piece.

 Like the band name itself,

 the song 

"Motorhead" 

is a reference to speed

 Lemmy's drug of choice 

at that time 

and was coupled 

with the

 non-album track

 "City Kids"

 (a Larry Wallis composition)

 from his

 (Pink Fairies' days)

 for release as 

7" and 12" singles.
