Re: ON: Motörhead 25th Anniversary

[ANDREW GARIBALDI]

Hi,
The Double CD is out tomorrow but we've had it in and it's just fantastic -
sound quality is superb and the tracks thunder like never before. The choice
of tracks means it's possibly the definitive 'best of' (always open to
debate) going right up to the choice of 'SnakeBite Love' and 'God Save The
Queen' and the 4 extra live tracks are way cool. There's Hawkwind doing
'Motorhead' on it, the Girlschool  cover and it's all in contxt with the
flow of the album, although it's not in any chronological order of tracks.
I'd say an essential purchase, but for those of you flushed with money, look
out for the very limited edition triple LP which is very expensive but bound
to disappear really fast (it may even have sold out already at source)
because the packaging is fantastic with a glorious red and balck cover
design unlike the CD's slip case shot of Lemmy in black and white.
For once it should be around all major stores and web retailers, but hurry
fast for the vinyl - we've already pre-sold all ours, even at the price!!
Andy Garibaldi.
