“Here’s another classic Motorhead performance from the BBC archive,” shares the group. “This time demolishing Top Of The Pops in 1979 with the mighty Overkill!”
The song was the title track and lead single to Motorhead’s second studio album, which was produced by Jimmy Miller and featured the lineup of Lemmy, guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke and drummer Philthy Animal Taylor.
“Overkill” went on to reach no. 24 on the UK Top Album charts.
Motorhead is kicking off the 50th anniversary celebrations with special 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.
