Motorhead Iron Fist on 180g LP + Download

"If we moved in next door, your lawn would die!" So said Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister to a reporter back in 1975, when Motörhead had just formed. As the band celebrates their 40th Anniversary in 2015, they can reflect on thousands of scorched gardens, over 30 million albums and millions of concert tickets sold, plus their fourth Grammy nomination, in the 2015 ceremony's Best Metal Performance category for "Heartbreaker," a track from one of their best-selling records ever, Aftershock.    

In 1975 Motörhead began a journey that would change the Rock & Roll scene forever. Through tenacity, hard work, and a deep-seated ability to produce an original, face melting sound, Motörhead has become one of the most popular bands in the world with a fan-base that is second to none. In honor of their 40th anniversary, the band is reissuing nine of their finest titles dating back to 1979 on 180g vinyl including Overkill, Bomber, Ace of Spades, No Sleep ‘Til Hammersmith, Iron Fist, Another Perfect Day, No Remorse, Orgasmatron and Rock 'n' Roll. Each reissue will reflect its original release from the cover down to the printed inner sleeves and will also include a download card.

The last album to feature the Lemmy, "Fast" Eddie Clarke, "Philthy" Phil Taylor line-up, believe it or not 1982's Iron Fist is one of Motörhead's fastest records to date, anchored by the title track which went on to become an all-time concert favorite. Produced by Clarke, the signature hooks and humor are in tact, as is the crash and burn metal bombast, but unfortunately the album marked the end of an era as Motörhead would never quite be the same after Fast Eddie's subsequent departure.
