This time, on\u00a0<em>Ace Of Spades<\/em>\u00a0they teamed up with producer Vic Maile and came up with twelve songs; each and every one of which crams a regular band\u2019s ten minutes of playing into an average of three. The song titles alone made ears bleed; \u2018Love Me Like A Reptile\u2019, \u2018Shoot You In The Back\u2019, \u2018The Chase Is Better Than The Catch\u2019 and \u2018The Hammer\u2019 were a few examples.<\/p>\n<p>This landmark album saw the three amigos of Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke and Philthy Animal Taylor at the helm of the juggernaut that was Mot\u00f6rhead, gaining phenomenal growth in popularity as they forged onward. The band\u2019s and their fans ideas, wants and inspirations, converged at a perfect tangent. Anyone disputing this fact need look no further than any heavy metal gig of the time and play \u2018spot the Mot\u00f6rhead T-shirt and jacket\u2019. They outnumbered anyone else by at least five to one. A statistic that is still accurate some forty-five years since they first began!<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<em>Ace Of Spades<\/em>\u00a0album release was a magical moment in rock\u2019n\u2019roll history, an album which had enormous global impact and continues to resonate and inspire people worldwide. Fans to this day still remember where they were when they first heard it, and it immediately inspired bands worldwide to absorb\u00a0the album\u2019s energy, speed, and attitude into their own work.\u00a0<em>Ace Of Spades<\/em>\u00a0is ground zero for thrash, speed metal, and punk \/ metal crossover.<\/p>\n<p>See below for full details of the\u00a0<em>Ace Of Spades<\/em>\u00a0releases and be sure to visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wilfulpublicity.us9.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=4ed22b50518a2d4aaa7dcb375&amp;id=6a10ae4229&amp;e=4258651afd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">www.iMotorhead.com<\/a>\u00a0for news and updates!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/mail-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12724 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/mail-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/mail-5.jpg 800w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/mail-5-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/mail-5-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/mail-5-768x765.jpg 768w, https:\/\/rpmonline.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/mail-5-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><strong><u>BOX SET TRACKLISTING<\/u><br \/>\n<em>Ace of Spades\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><br \/>\nSide One<\/strong><br \/>\nAce Of Spades<br \/>\nLove Me Like A Reptile<br \/>\nShoot You In The Back<br \/>\nLive To Win<br \/>\nFast And Loose<br \/>\n(We Are) The Road Crew<br \/>\n<strong>Side Two<\/strong><br \/>\nFire Fire<br \/>\nJailbait<br \/>\nDance<br \/>\nBite The Bullet<br \/>\nThe Chase Is Better Than The Catch<br \/>\nThe Hammer<strong><em>A Fistful Of Instrumentals<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Side One<\/strong><br \/>\nAce Of Spades (demo)<br \/>\nHump On Your Back (demo)<br \/>\nShoot You In The Back (demo)<br \/>\nFast And Loose (demo)<br \/>\n<strong>Side Two<\/strong><br \/>\nDirty Love (demo)<br \/>\nLove Me Like A Reptile (demo)<br \/>\nDance (demo)<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Riders Wearing Black<br \/>\nLive At Whitla Hall, Belfast \u2013 23rd Dec 1981\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Side One<\/strong><br \/>\nAce Of Spades<br \/>\nStay Clean<br \/>\nOver The Top<br \/>\nThe Hammer<br \/>\nShoot You In The Back<br \/>\nMetropolis<br \/>\n<strong>Side Two<\/strong><br \/>\n(We Are) The Road Crew<br \/>\nNo Class<br \/>\nBite The Bullet<br \/>\nThe Chase Is Better Than The Catch<\/p>\n<p><strong>Side Three<\/strong><br \/>\nJailbait<br \/>\nLeaving Here<br \/>\nCapricorn<br \/>\nToo Late, Too Late<br \/>\n<strong>Side Four<\/strong><br \/>\nOverkill<br \/>\nBomber<br \/>\nMot\u00f6rhead<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Dead Man\u2019s Hand<br \/>\nLive At Parc Expo, Orleans \u2013 5th March 1981<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<strong>Side One<\/strong><br \/>\nAce Of Spades<br \/>\nStay Clean<br \/>\nOver The Top<br \/>\nMetropolis<br \/>\nShoot You In The Back<br \/>\n<strong>Side Two<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Hammer<br \/>\nJailbait<br \/>\nLeaving Here<br \/>\nFire Fire<br \/>\nLove Me Like A Reptile<\/p>\n<p><strong>Side Three<\/strong><br \/>\nCapricorn<br \/>\nToo Late, Too Late<br \/>\n(We Are) The Road Crew<br \/>\nNo Class<br \/>\n<strong>Side Four<\/strong><br \/>\nBite The Bullet<br \/>\nThe Chase Is Better Than The Catch<br \/>\nOverkill<br \/>\nBomber<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Good, The Broke &amp;
