Motorhead: Albums
built 128 days ago
Motorhead finds not one, but two guitarists - Phil Campbell and Wurzel. Unfortunately, they lose Philthy. He's replaced by Saxon's Pete Gill. They break new ground in Australia and New Zealand, but they ... part ways with their record label, Bronze. "No Remorse" - a "greatest hits" package with four new tracks is their last album for the company.

This spectacular 2005 re-release of Motorhead's 1977 self-titled CD is noteworthy for many reasons, not the least of which is that its newly remastered sound is probably the best this album has ever had. Guitars and vocals really come to the forefront now, while drums and bass no longer blur together in a murky blend. The new re-mastering is ... somewhat of a curse, however. Never before have the limitations of the album's original 1977 production been so obvious.

Motorhead's manager pulls them out of the Chiswick deal. Yet another manager gets them a contract with Bronze Records. Before making their own album, they record a few tracks with the Damned, including a cover of the Sweet's "Ballroom Blitz". At the end of the year, Motorhead enters the studio with producer Jimmy Miller. Life is looking much better.
