MOTORHEAD — Ace of Spades (9-LP Holland Rock Collector’s Edition, Anniversary Edition, Remastered, Limited Edition, Lp+Dvd)

The potent combination of Lemmy, Fast Eddie, and Philthy Animal Taylor set the bar upon the release of this record and some four decades later, the standard is still firmly in tact.

The anniversary edition of this monumental record will feature hardback book-packs in two CD and triple LP formats, including a previously unheard concert from the ‘Ace Up Your Sleeve’ tour, the story of the album and many previously unseen photos. The collector’s edition ‘Ace Of Spades’ box set, contains a cache of era-specific gems and an additional 42 previously unreleased tracks.

The “Ace Of Spades” Deluxe box set contains:

• The Ace Of Spades album, half-speed mastered and created from the original master tapes.

• A Fistful Of Instrumentals : A 10” EP of previously unreleased, instrumental tracks from 1980.
• The Good, The Broke & The Ugly. A double album of B-sides, outtakes and rare tracks.
• Ace On Your Screens: A DVD compilation of rare TV appearances from 1980-81, a live concert from 1981 and a 5.1 audio mix of the original album.
• The Ace Of Spades story. A 40 page book telling the story of Ace Of Spades through previously unpublished interviews with the people that were there. Includes never before seen photos and memorabilia.
• The Ace Up Your Sleeve tour programme
• The Motörhead Rock Commando comic.
• A set of 5 poker dice that can be played on the game board inside the box set lid.

Coupled with the news of the special editions of the essential record comes a new music video for the classic title track. The footage is from the band’s 1981 performance in Belfast, the audio which is included in the re-release of Ace of Spades.
