MOTORHEAD – NO SLEEP TIL HAMMERSMITH

Description:

Limited 180gm vinyl LP repressing including digital download. No Sleep 'til Hammersmith was the first live album by Motrhead. Released on 27 June 1981, it peaked at #1 on the UK album charts. It was followed by the release of the single "Motorhead" (coupled with the non-album track "Over the Top") on 11 July, which peaked in the UK singles chart at #6. No Sleep 'til Hammersmith is the band's most successful in terms of chart positioning, peaking at #1 on the UK charts, having capitalized on the preceding success of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre EP and Ace of Spades album and single. Lemmy believes it's success was due to a building anticipation from their fan base for a live album, due to the band having touredso heavily in the past, but also considered it "our downfall" due to the difficulty in following up it's success.
