MOTORHEAD – Another Perfect Day [40th Anniversary Deluxe] (2023)

Celebrating it’s 40th anniversary, BMG is about to release a deluxe, expanded, 2-disc remastered version of ”Another Perfect Day”, the sixth studio album by British metallers Motörhead. It was originally released on 4 June 1983 via Bronze Records, which would be the band’s last full-length original album with the label. It is the band’s only studio album to feature lead guitarist Brian “Robbo” Robertson, best known for his work with Thin Lizzy.
This 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition includes an amplifier blowing remaster of the original album, previously unreleased demo bonus tracks, and a previously unreleased full concert recorded at Hull City Hall on June 22, 1983.
With the addition of Robertson, Motörhead took a more “musical” approach — in Lemmy Kilmister’s words — to ”Another Perfect Day”. Rather than relying on flat-out speed and aggression as they had with guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke Clarke, Lemmy and company hunkered down in the studio and crafted some of the most melodic and “produced” material to ever don the Motörhead name.

Robertson’s effects-laden guitar overdubs are the most striking difference between ”Another Perfect Day” and the albums that came before and after it. Tracks like “Shine” and “I Got Mine” best showcase this altered approach, with Lemmy hitting some of the most melodic vocal lines of his career to match Robbo’s guitar work.

As history would have it, the guitarist’s tenure in Motörhead would be short lived, as the lineup proved dysfunctional during the following tour in 1983. A previously unreleased concert recording from that tour, “Live at Hull City Hall, 22nd June 1983,” is included in this expanded edition of ”Another Perfect Day”.
