Motorhead’s 1979 albums Overkill and Bomber will be reissued later this year – both as individual packages and as a box set containing both albums and a host of extras.
The news comes after the band’s social media channels lit up yesterday with a video clip showing footage from 1979.
Today it’s been revealed that Overkill and Bomber will be reissued as hardbound bookpacks on 2CD and 3LP, which will also feature previously unreleased concerts from the time and a collection of rare photos.
Both albums have been remastered from the original master tapes.
Overkill and Bomber will also be included in the 1979 Box Set, which will also feature a 40-page book, a disc containing b-sides and outtakes, a 7-inch single of No Class, a reproduction of the Bomber tour programme, an Overkill sheet music book and a 1979 badge set.
The whole package will be presented in a black biker jacket box.
The new releases have been created with the full cooperation and involvement of the estates of Lemmy, “Fast” Eddie Clarke and Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor, with BMG planning on reissuing further Motorhead albums in the future.
All three will be released on October 25 through BMG.
In addition, a previously unreleased video of Motorhead performing Bomber in 1979 has been released, which can be found below along with further album details.
