2025 was an important year in the history of Motörhead. It saw the 50thAnniversary of Motörhead forming, the 50thAnniversary of their first gig and it would have also been Lemmy's 80thbirthday. And now in 2026 is the 50th Anniversary of their very first recordings, completed in early 1976. To celebrate we will be releasing the complete On Parole Sessions, a4 disc set - 3 CDs and 1 Blu-ray - with the original album remixed by Steven Wilson, plus two discs from the same recording sessions remixed by Richard Digby Smith. On Parole Motörhead's first ever studio recordings from 1975-76, feature Larry Wallis on guitar, Phil Taylor and Lucas Fox on drums and Lemmy on bass guitar and vocals. This is a unique opportunity to hear this legendary, fledgling band, writing and capturing their earliest recordings.
Originally released in 1979. This 2026 pressing.
