Motorhead - No Sleep 'til Hammersmith [Remastered] (CD 1996)

When probably the best metal album of all time - No Sleep Till Hammersmith - was released on CD first time round, I was so excited till i popped it in my player. What came out my speakers bore no resemblance to the brilliance of the vinyl release which i had owned since new. To say i was disapponted was an understatement.

This is a true classic album (unlike many other proclamations) and thank god the record company's at last indirectly admitted they had effed up with their 'just chuck 'em on CD' philosophy and repackaged and properly remastered them with some care and attention to the sound. Funny that, I don't know why they thought music and sound didn't need to work together.

NEVER by the un-remastered version of this album - it is truly cack while this remastered version has captured more closely the original sound and the album once more can be enjoyed for the complete blitzkreig on your senses that was originally intended.

Love it. Love it. Love it...

The sound of good old fashioned foot to the floor rock and roll excess. Everything else you know about punk metal is just wrong and this is right. Buy it in the knowledge that every track is worth the asking price, when they are on form Motorhead do not disappoint - and boy are they on form here.
