A classic back on MC! in 1977, Lemmy & Co. decided to disband due to lack of success and give one last concert. Ted Carroll from Chiswick Records was present during this concert and subsequently offered the musicians a record deal for a single.

The recordings resulted in a complete album, which was released in September 1977 under the title 'Motörhead'. It was produced by ex-Thunderclap Newman "Speedy" Keen and recorded by Kilmister, Taylor and Clarke. Number 43 in the British album charts was the band's first commercial success. What was to follow is well known! This is classic rock on a classic format!
