Motörhead (album)
''Motörhead'' is the self-titled debut album by the British Heavy metal band Motörhead, released in 1977.
==Background==
In May 1975, bassist Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister was fired from Hawkwind after he was arrested at the Canadian/US border in Windsor, Ontario on drug possession charges. Lemmy also explained to ''Classic Albums'' that he had been at odds with the band because he "did the wrong drugs, you know, I didn't do the designer drugs...I did the street stuff, so I was massively unpopular for that". From there, he went on to form a new band called ''Bastard'' with guitarist Larry Wallis (former member of the Pink Fairies, Steve Took's Shagrat and UFO) and drummer Lucas Fox. In 1976, after changing the band's name to ''Motörhead'', the group signed with United Artists and recorded songs for an album at Rockfield Studios in Wales, but the record company, which doubted its commercial viability, refused to release it. On 1 April 1977, disheartened by their experience with UA and their lack of success in general, the band – which now consisted of drummer Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor and guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke, decided to disband after playing one final show at the Marquee Club in London. As Clarke recalls in the documentary ''The Guts and the Glory'', "It was going to be our farewell gig. I said, 'Let's get a mobile down at least to record the fuckin' year and a half we've been together', and put something on the fuckin' tape, you know?" The band asked Chiswick label owner Ted Carroll to record the show but, according to Clarke, "the problem with the Marquee was they wanted 500 quid for doing a recording at the Marquee. Well, that was out of the question in those days". Carroll then offered the band two days at Escape Studios to record a single with producer John "Speedy" Keen. As Clarke explained to John Robinson of ''Uncut'' in 2015, the band finished the gig at the Marquee and drove straight to the studio in Kent: "That was Friday night, so we had all Saturday and Sunday. We'd been playing these songs for a year, so we thought fuck it, we can do an album. In a few hours we had all the backing tracks down. Put the vocals down. Bit more speed, put some more guitars on. Few more beers – we were fucking steaming. Come Saturday night, we'd nearly finished it". As biographer Joel McIver recalls in his book ''Overkill: The Untold Story of Motörhead'', "As the story goes, by the time Carroll came back to the studio to hear the results, the band had recorded no fewer than 11 tracks. Impressed, he paid for more studio time to allow them to complete an album. The album did well enough to ensure the band would remain together, but it would be their next album, 1979's ''Overkill'', that proved to be their true breakthrough".
