BMG Records in conjunction with Motorhead to release Box Set

 

BMG & Motorhead Embark On Exciting Legacy

BMG and Motorhead are set to release a deluxe Collector’s Box-Set Reissues Of ‘Overkill’ and ‘Bomber’ on October 25th 2019.

Kicking things off with Motorhead ‘79’ campaign, this Box-Set celebrates the 40^th Anniversary of the incredible ‘Overkill’, and ‘Bomber’ albums with fantastic new deluxe editions, both as hardbound book packs in two CD and triple LP format.

The releases feature previously unheard concerts from the ’79 tours, interviews and many unseen photos. Also, the ’79 campaign will see the release of the spectacular ultimate fan / collectors 1979 Box-Set.

All three of these releases have been created with the full cooperation and involvement of the estates of Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, “Fast” Eddie Clarke and Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor.

Box Set Contents

The 1979 Box Set contains:
*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’ 7” single with gatefold art
* The Bomber tour programme
* Overkill sheet music book
* ’79 badge set
* All encased in black biker jacket box

By going through the band’s extensive private archives, and receiving the assistance of key people who were part of their ’79 circle of friends, crew, and accomplices – as well as consulting with super fans – all parties are immensely proud to show the level of detail and commitment which has gone into all three of the ’79 releases, and which will continue with future projects.  It was always Lemmy’s demand to give the fans the very best possible in every respect, we believe we have achieved that with these reissues.

A further element of the ’79 box-set release is to offer Motorhead fans, old and in-between[ish] the full scope and context of how life was when these classics were being created.

Motorhead were a force of nature propelled by bassist & vocalist Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, guitarist “Fast” Eddie Clarke and drummer Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor. The alchemy between these three outrageous and utterly immortal men was nothing short of life-changing for millions, and all three shared a wonderful ‘mad band of brothers’ approach to life and music; there was no ‘off’ switch and they became legends as a result. ‘Overkill’ and ‘Bomber’ are icons, brain-damagingly brilliant to the nth degree, and their enormous influence still reverberates through all genres of music to this day
