Description

It is officially regarded as the band’s debut album, though an album was recorded in 1975 for United Artists which was shelved, and was only released in 1979 after the band had established themselves commercially.[1] This would be the first album to feature what would become the “classic” Motörhead lineup of Lemmy Kilmister, “Fast” Eddie Clarke and Philthy Animal Taylor

The sleeve artwork featured the debut of Snaggletooth, the War-Pig, the fanged face that would become an icon of the band and would appear on most of the band’s album covers. According to its creator, Snaggletooth represents a combination of a bear, a wolf and a dog skull with boar tusks.
