Motorhead have announced the launch of a new reissue series that will begin with a pair of classic 1979 albums by the UK band.
Due October 25, the campaign will deliver expanded, deluxe 40th anniversary editions of their second record, “Overkill”, and its follow-up, “Bomber.”
Available in hardbound bookpacks in two CD and triple LP format, the releases feature previously-unheard concerts from the group’s 1979 tours alongside interviews and many unseen photos.
In addition to the pair of deluxe reissues, the albums will also be offered via a collectors "1979" box set, which will contain the following:
* Both the original "Overkill" and "Bomber" albums half-speed mastered and pressed on 180-gram vinyl created from the original master tapes
* Two double-live albums of previously unheard concert material from the '79 tours
* A 40-page period-accurate "music magazine" featuring unseen photos and fresh interviews regarding the era
* "The Rest Of '79" vinyl, featuring B-sides, outtakes and rare tracks
* "No Class" seven-inch single with gatefold art
* The "Bomber" tour program
* "Overkill" sheet music book
* '79 badge set
* All encased in black biker jacket box
Material for the 2019 reissues was compiled by access to the band's extensive private archives, receiving the assistance of key people who were part of their '79 circle of friends, crew, and accomplices, as well as consultations with super fans.
All three of these releases have been created with the full cooperation and involvement of the estates of bassist/vocalist Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister, guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke and drummer Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor.
