Motörhead - ""The Manticore Tapes"". In 1976, the seminal lineup of Motorhead was solidified a year after the band's initial inception. The ""three amigos"" era of Motorhead; Lemmy (bass/vocals), Fast Eddie Clarke (guitar) and Phil ""Philthy Animal"" Taylor (drums), joined forces and began their extraordinary journey to the top of the hard rock elite. In August of that year, the band set up at Emerson, Lake & Palmer's legendary Manticore Studio in Fulham to rehearse and showcase their new lineup. Now, 49 years after recording there for the first time, the long-lost tape has been discovered, dusted off and restored in all it's raw glory to celebrate the band's 50th anniversary. Featuring 11 tracks, including additional alternate takes and instrumentals for a unique insight into the birth of this legendary band. Limited picture disc vinyl LP pressing.
