MOTORHEAD – Overkill [40th Anniversary Remaster 2-CD unreleased material] (2019) *EXCLUSIVE*

The early years of MOTORHEAD are getting a celebratory re-visitation for the 40th anniversary of the band’s classic albums Overkill and Bomber. Remember the time when bands released 2 albums the same year, and both good? This deluxe remastered reissue of “Overkill” includes a bonus disc with previously unreleased material.

For Motörhead, 1979 was a vital year that saw the band release two of its heaviest and most definitive albums.
I don’t need to review “Overkill” the album, it’s a 5 star Rock classic, arguably Motörhead’s best LP, with an inspired Lemmy and “Fast” Eddie Clarke delivering killer hot solos. The remaster is clean and potent.

Regarding the bonus disc, it’s a very good one. Early Motörhead live recordings can be very shoddy and the band have been exploited with many badly recorded live albums like “Blitzkrieg On Birmingham 1977”.

The good news in the show included here – Live at Aylesbury Friars, 31st March 1979 – is a very good sounding recording, almost to the point that you wonder where it has been shelved for 40 years.
It’s great to hear an up-and-coming Motörhead playing these songs when they were still fresh. The Kilminster / Clarke / Taylor line up was really special and there is plenty of fun onstage banter.
Killer classic stuff.
