The video is an explosively raucous mixed media visual combining unique model characters and set pieces with archive footage of the band.
Originally a US Top 30 hit on the R&B charts for Eddie Holland in 1963, Motorhead released its version of “Leaving Here” as its debut single in 1977.
“Check out the new video for ‘Leavin’ Here’, the second single from The Manticore Tapes!,” says the band. “Another previously unheard track from the first ever studio recordings of the three amigos line-up!”
Due June 27, “The Manticore Tapes” features previously unheard recordings from Motorhead's classic 'Three Amigos' line-up.
In 1976 the seminal line-up of Motorhead was solidified a year after the band's initial inception. Known as the 'Three Amigos' era of Motorhead, Lemmy (bass/vocals), Fast Eddie Clarke (guitar) and Phil 'Philthy Animal' Taylor (drums) joined forces and began their extraordinary journey to the top of the hard rock elite.
In August 1976 the band set up at Emerson, Lake & Palmer's legendary Manticore Studio in Fulham to rehearse and showcase the new lineup. While they were there they recorded together for the very first time and now, forty nine years later, this long lost tape has surfaced, been dusted off and restored in all its raw glory, to celebrate the seminal hard rock band's 50th anniversary.
“The Manticore Tapes” will be available in multiple formats, including a deluxe expanded bookpack containing a double LP and 7" single, a single LP, CD and digital.
