Don't know, he was upset because they released "On Parole" 2,5 years later and until than he didn't know if they gonna release album at all, that's why he was upset, that's why people than talked about "Motorhead" album like first album, it was first album in the stores, first album to see light of the day but On Parole was RECORDED first, for me On parole is first album. In his book he said about album "this is part of story (Motorhead) too..." You have some bootleg with pretty much bad sound from first show ever 20.7.1975, their first working day like band.

On this bootleg is Lemmy/Wallis/Fox line up. On "On parole" is Lemmy/Wallis/Taylor line up except song Lost Johnny where is Fox on drums. On latter release you have bonus tracks with Fox on drums too, 4 more songs I think. In late 1975 they started to work on first album but Taylor comes in and Fox goes away, "he didn't have a bite" said Lemmy. SO Taylor did "Overdubing drums" and that's On parole album.

I did some research on 'On Parole' some time ago and it was actually released in 1976. The UK release was 1979, but the first release (1976) was in Japan(?) and some very few other countries.

Yes you're right. On parole was finished in 1976 but they started making this album in december 1975 with Fox. Those 4 bonus track's on cd release are maybe from that period. And Lost Johnny.

Anyway because of Japan and some other countries "On parole" is real first album and it is not in discography section. Huh...

That's a good idea, and I see no reason why the three couldn't play together on the album. They wouldn't call themselves Motorhead.



No, I do want to hear/see the three perform together again, and of course it's interesting to hear your different views and suggestions on this subject.

I've been listening to the old Motorhead albums lately and found a video on Youtube where Lemmy answered a question about a possible reunion. I didn't share his opinion, but it's his band.

I miss the early 1980's. The music was better, the comic books were better, and I was a lot younger.

Never mind the discography section at imotorhead, it has never been taken too seriously. On Parole is a 1975 production with a 1976 release but the special thing about it is that Lem had probably dreamed of making it happen when leaving Hawkwind, and it did start his new career nicer than he probably expected. And Larry's vocal was great too, all very raw, simple but still 'premium quality'. The 'Rolls Royce' of the classic hard rock & roll albums

Yup, very special sound and atmosphere on "On parole". About Larry his album Death in guitarfternoon is great too. Who knows what Lucas is doing right now. He still playing drums?

I think there is a bigger chance to see THE BEATLES reunite than Lem lining up with Philthy and Eddie again... I doubt Philthy can handle the old classics these days...

Larry Wallis ... was the best guitarist - composer rock'n 'roll music of MOTORHEAD and this can not be overcome. He is a real rock 'n' roll - underground star of England. And therefore almost nobody knows it .... I do not know how it is today because a website "pinkfairies.co.uk" ceased to exist ...
