Iron Fist (Expanded Vinyl Edition) - By: Motörhead - Model Number: BMGCAT542TLP

Description

Iron Fist is repositioned as a vital snapshot of Mot¶rhead at a crucial period when they found themselves caught in the tornado ignited by success and, in true Mot¶rhead style, careered into their next phase at such velocity it transcended logic or reason to become this trio™s final kamikaze joyride.

Forty years later, with fall-out long dissipated and a proper mastering job that avoided it at the time, IRON FIST sounds like prime MOT–RHEAD with the gloves and seat-belts off. For sheer velocity, it could be fastest of them all, the ferocious title track earning such an accolade in Kerrang! in its tribute spread to Lemmy after he passed away.

By 1982, punk had been and gone, the new wave of heavy metal sounded squeaky and cliched next to its grubby godfathers and, while still trouncing all opposition, MOT–RHEAD retained that essential ability to laugh at everything, including themselves as they made lightning raids on every sense and orifice with everything cranked to overload.

The Iron Fist album; brand new remaster created from the original tapes. Pressed on vinyl as a triple album in a 20 page bookpack. Includes a full live show from Glasgow Apollo released for the first time, plus previously unreleased album demos.
