The package goes behind the scenes with producer Cameron Webb to share details about his remix of the album, the details uncovered in the original recordings, and his tribute to the work of Lemmy, Bill Laswell and Jason Corsaro.
40 years after its original release, the original “Orgasmatron” studio recordings have been remastered for the anniversary and cut at half speed from the original tapes, while longtime Motorhead collaborator Cameron Webb has created a brand-new remix and remaster from the original stems.
For Cameron, the opportunity was particularly personal: "My brother introduced me to Orgasmatron when I was 14 years old. I heard the song and thought, 'Is this even music?' It was like the devil coming through my cassette tape. And I loved it. That record and Rock 'N' Roll were my Motorhead records, so being asked to work on this is incredibly special to me. I honestly don't know anyone in the world who would be more excited than me to do it."
The Orgasmatron 40th Anniversary Edition is now available as a deluxe 3LP bookpack and 2CD, featuring the remastered original mix, the Cameron Webb Remix, additional studio rehearsals and outtakes recorded in 1985, and the complete BBC Radio 1 Friday Rock Show session from 1986, capturing the band during the Orgasmatron era. The 40th anniversary edition is also available as a 1LP pressing on transparent violet vinyl, featuring the original studio album.
Motorhead disbanded following the death of founder Lemmy Kilmister in 2015.
