“Here’s a slice of Motörhead history,” shares the group, “their first ever TV appearance on the BBC’s Top Of The Pops show from 1978.”
The song – which followed Motorhead’s self-titled debut album – reached No. 68 on the UK charts as the band toured endlessly while building its fan base and working towards recording a second studio record, which would eventually become 1979’s “Overkill.”
Motorhead are kicking off the celebrations will be special 50th anniversary, limited vinyl editions of their breakthrough albums: “Overkill”, “Bomber” and “Ace Of Spades”. “These are all cut as half speed masters, pressed as special colour configurations and all include an exclusive poster to be released on 28th February for our new generation of fans and collectors,” says the band.
Formed in London, UK by Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister in 1975, the band racked up 15 million in worldwide album sales, a 2005 Grammy Award, and the support of millions of music fans around the globe.
Motorhead disbanded following the 2015 passing of Lemmy at the age of 70 from prostate cancer, cardiac arrhythmia, and congestive heart failure.
