        I have seen this, though not yet acquired it. However, the
details, which I got from
<http://213.86.54.18/mis_uk/motorhead/sleephammersmith.htm>, which is the
relevant page of the label, Metal-Is's homepage, go like this:

                          METAL-IS... MOTORHEAD

             Motorhead, Lemmy's enduring HM warhorse, have their
       classic 'No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith' reissued on the Metal-Is /
       Sanctuary Records label on Monday, October 8th 2001. This 2 CD
     collection features the entirety of the original 'No Sleep' album,
    plus a bonus CD of eleven previously unreleased recordings from the
   same tour. The album has been remastered under the auspices of 'Fast'
                           Eddie Clarke himself.
   Live albums seldom carry much cachet - but 'No Sleep' is recognised as
       one of the all-time great in-concert recordings, capturing the
     definitive Motorhead line-up of Lemmy, 'Fast' Eddie and Phil 'thy
   Animal' Taylor in all their amphetamine majesty. Several of the band's
       signature tracks - 'Ace of Spades', 'Bomber', 'Overkill', and
      'Motorhead' itself feature on this heaviest of live recordings,
                sounding as vital and hypercharged as ever.
   Motorhead celebrated their twenty-fifth anniversary in the year 2000,
      a quarter century of unrefined, unalloyed mayhem, and Metal-Is /
   Sanctuary celebrated it with the chart-bound double 'Best Of'. The new
    and improved 'No Sleep' looks to the future whilst celebrating their
                             illustrious past.

        So that's the one Rob's talking about, I don't know what Doug's
version is. There are, by the way, Real Audio clips of all tracks on the
page. Yours,
