Motörhead’s ‘On Parole’ Album To Get Re-Released For National Album Day
Written by Johnson Stephen on August 27, 2020
Newly remastered from the Original Analogue Tapes, Motörhead’s ‘On Parole’ is to be Re-Released on 9th October 2020 as part of National Album Day on the following formats, Single CD and Double-LP.
There are new liner notes written by founder member Lucas Fox, the band’s original Drummer, and features rarely seen photographs and archive content.
It will be released with a Rare Canadian version of the Cover Artwork and is the only Motörhead album that features the original line-up of the band (Lemmy on vocals and bass, Larry Wallis on guitar and vocals, and Lucas Fox on drums). Lucas Fox features on all the tracks, including those that Phil Taylor added his Drums to.
Originally completed in 1976, ‘On Parole’ was the first-ever recorded material by Motörhead, but was released in 1979 after it was originally held-back by then record label United Artists. The album proved to be the starting point of one of the most important bands in Rock history, these early recording sessions set Motörhead’s uncompromising sound and became a turning point for Lemmy who would now become front and centre of his own band and, unintentionally, one of the most iconic, influential and celebrated figures in Rock music. ‘On Parole’ was eventually released in 1979 and becoming the band’s fourth ‘Released’ album.
