MOTÖRHEAD starten "The Löst Tapes"-Reihe

MOTÖRHEAD sitzen in ihren Archiven anscheinend noch auf einigen Schätzen. In einer "The Löst Tapes" genannten Reihe werden nun ausgewählte Live-Shows digital aufbereitet zur Verfügung gestellt.

Den Anfang macht eine Show aus dem Sala Aqualung im spanischen Madrid, wo MOTÖRHEAD am 01.06.1995 im Rahmen ihrer Tour zum damals aktuellen Album "Sacrifice" gastierten. 

Die 24 Songs umfassende Show könnt ihr euch unter anderem auf YouTube oder Spotify in voller Länge anhören:

Cassette tapes. Remember those? Those things with the dual spools and loads of wide brown plastic recording string that’d occasionally unravel and hang out of the shell, requiring a pencil and firm wrist to spin back into place?

Yeah, well, once upon a time, old-school sound systems contained cassette decks for the express purpose of recording shows, and these “cassette” things were a standard part of every tour. Motörhead were certainly no exception, recording show after show. They contain gold, pure aural gold, and had for many years sat hundreds of feet underground in a small cave Lemmy owned, guarded by small, hairy centurions in Roman armor with small spears and bad attitudes. Only the magic password would release them, and thankfully, Lem had scribbled it down and left it inside an old sketch book for us (no, were won’t tell you the password, although it did have the words ’nie nie nie’ in it). There were loads of the dirty, dusty, greasy little buggers gathered, with the likes of Lyon, Liverpool, Hamburg and Chippenham (!!) scrawled in biro on the tiny labels alongside a date…and thus we are delighted to announce that this unique collection of live gems will now be heard by the world, via carefully digitized transfers, in a new series of predominantly digital releases titled The Löst Tapes. So here’s to The Löst Tapes…and we’d like to confirm, no diminutive Roman centurions were harmed in the procurement of these treasures!

Volume one has been hand-picked by the increasingly deaf, but well-meaning (and hydrated!) Motörhead team, along with surviving members Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee, and sees the trio in blistering form on the Sacrifice album tour recorded at the Sala Aqualung in Madrid Spain on 1st June 1995.

Demnächst legen MOTÖRHEAD außerdem ihren Live-Klassiker "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith" zum 40. Geburtstag neu auf.
