In August 1976, Motörhead’s iconic ‘three amigos’ line-up—Lemmy (bass/vocals), Fast Eddie Clarke (guitar), and Phil ‘Philthy Animal’ Taylor—gathered at Emerson, Lake & Palmer’s legendary Manticore Studio in Fulham to rehearse and, for the first time, record together.
Take a look inside!
Nearly five decades later, the long-lost “Manticore tape” has been unearthed, restored, and is now set for release as The Manticore Tapes on 27th June to celebrate the band’s 50th anniversary.
This never-before-heard album captures the raw beginnings of the classic Motörhead sound, making its discovery a major event for fans. Watch the video for “Motörhead” and click here to preorder with exclusive merch bundles!

The mighty Bomber turns 45 this year and to celebrate we’re releasing this limited edition blue vinyl 10” EP which contains three previously unreleased demos from the album!
It’s out on 11th October and is exclusive to the official Motörhead store along with special anniversary merch bundles. Pre-order is live here!
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the mighty No Remorse we’re proud to announce a new redux version of this classic, Motörhead compilation entitled Remorse? No! This limited edition, double silver vinyl LP features previously unreleased demos, rarities and tracks on vinyl for the first time from the bands history up until 1984. It’s out on 20th April at your local indie record store! Click HERE for more info!
With initial copies sold in handsome black leather sleeve, No Remorse arrived in September 1984 as Motörhead’s first retrospective compilation and last for Bronze Records after six career-arcing years.
To mark forty years since Lemmy compiled the original, this alternative redux version now available for Record Store Day 2024 on silver double vinyl and with new sleeve notes, has been built using demos, alternative versions or live renditions of its tracks, traversing the original Lemmy-selected running order to present a fascinatingly different take on Motörhead’s first decade. 2100 copies will be produced.
