In 1976, one year after the band was founded, Motörhead's groundbreaking line-up was established. The “Three Amigos” era of Motörhead - Lemmy (bass/vocals), Fast Eddie Clarke (guitar) and Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor - joined forces and began their extraordinary journey to the top of the hard rock elite.

In August 1976, the band met at Emerson, Lake & Palmer's legendary Manticore Studio in Fulham to rehearse and unveil the new line-up. It was there that they recorded together for the first time. 49 years later, the long-lost tape was discovered, dusted off and restored in all its glory to celebrate the band's 50th anniversary.

Available as a classic black 1-LP, CD and deluxe 2-LP bookpack. All formats include additional alternate takes and instrumentals for a unique insight into the making of this legendary band.
