This is the 3rd studio album by Motorhead (or 4th if you count the later released but earlier recorded 'On Parole' set.) It's the second release by the so called 'classic' line up of Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke and Phil Taylor. By this release the Motorhead sound was set, with Lemmy's thundering bass and growling vocals, Phil Taylor's manic and powerful drumming, and topped with Eddie Clarke's brilliant riffing and lead guitar work. All of which together made for a huge noise from just three band members. Loudest band in the world is what they were called back then, and that wasn't far from the truth if you were lucky enough to catch them live in those early days. So, what about the songs? This is a double cd digipak, so on cd 1 you get the original album, from the brilliant opener "Dead Men Tell No Tales" through to the final classic title track plus other typical Motorhead songs such as Stone Dead Forever, All The Aces, and the surprise - Step Down - sung by Eddie Clarke, rather than Lemmy.
Cd2 is well worth checking out as well, with a handful of alternative versions and 'b' sides, plus the 4 live tracks that were originally released as the "Golden Years" live EP. Overall this is a great package, which no Motorhead or classic rock fan should be without. Almost 30 years on it still sounds fresh and in no way dated. Buy it!
