Do Japanese releases of Motorhead CDs have extra songs?

I'm not sure if too many people notice this but with many recording artists, they have to add a song or two for their Japanese releases. I don't really know why they do that. I'll have to ask my friend who's had CDs released in Japan with extra songs. Perhaps they promote you better if they get the extra songs?

The Japanese releases usually have bonus tracks, as most bands who release albums in Japan include bonus tracks, but there are no bonus tracks released on Japanese editions that haven't been released on worldwide remasters or other editions. There are no previously unheard songs on the Japanese editions, it's usually either b-sides from vinyl singles ('Cradle to the Grave' for example) or outtakes like you get on the deluxe editions of albums like Iron Fist. The deluxe editions of the oolder albums from 'Motorhead' up to 'Rock N' Roll' are all on places like Amazon, and they contain all the bonus tracks you could ever wish for.

To my knowledge, the idea behind the japanese bonustracks is to make japanese cds more attractive for japanese customers - as usually it's cheaper for them to order "foreign" cds instead of buying the local releases. At least that's how Brian Setzer once answered a similar question...

Your right mate, that is the reason!
