Official Motörhead On Parole clear deluxe vinyl now in stock at plastichead order link below plastichead//item.asp?ex=fitem&target=BOBV166LP AMAZING 180 GRAM GATEFOLD VINYL REISSUE OF MOTORHEADS DEBUT 1975 RECORDING This is the only album to feature the bands original line-up of Lemmy on vocals and bass, Larry Wallis on guitar and vocals, and Lucas Fox on drums. During the sessions, original producer Dave Edmunds relinquished his duties being replaced by Fritz Fryer. Drummer Fox was then replaced by Phil Philthy Animal Taylor, a casual acquaintance of Lemmys who had been persuaded to drive him to Rockfield Studios. Taylor overdubbed all of Foxs tracks except for Lost Johnny. Of the tracks, three (Motorhead, The Watcher and Lost Johnny) were re-recordings of songs Lemmy had written and recorded with Hawkwind, City Kids was a re-recording of a Wallis track co-written and recorded with The Pink Fairies, Leaving Here was a cover version of a Holland/Dozier/Holland Motown song Lemmy had learnt whilst roadying for The Birds. On Parole was recorded and released by Larry Wallis (backed by Eddie and the Hot Rods) as a b-side to the Stiff Records Police Car single in 1977, after this album had been recorded but prior to its release. At the time United Artists were not convinced of the albums commercial potential and shelved its release. After the bands profile had risen with the commercial success of the albums Overkill and Bomber, UA re-appraised the album and gave it a belated release at the end of 1979, despite the disapproval of the band. Due to the record companys initial refusal to release this album, when a reconfigured Motörhead (featuring Eddie Clarke on guitar) were given studio time by Chiswick Records in 1977, they chose to re-record the album in almost its entirety (only Fools and Leaving Here werent re-recorded) leading to their debut release Motörhead.
