Remastered album will be available on deluxe formats via BMG

Motörhead is celebrating the 40th anniversary celebration of their iconic, game changing, 1980 Ace of Spades album in deluxe form on October 30th via BMG. The album that altered the course of hard rock forever will be offered on 2 CD, 2 LP, Deluxe and Super Deluxe Box sets.

These releases feature a new master of the album from original tapes, two previously unheard concerts from ’81 and a horde of never before seen photos, memorabilia plus previously unpublished interviews by the people who were there. The deluxe box set contains 42 previously unreleased tracks and a DVD of rare TV appearances.

The deluxe set will feature a half-speed master created from the original master tapes; two double live albums of previously unheard concerts from the Ace Up Your Sleeve Tour; A Fistful Of Instrumentals EP of previously unreleased, instrumental tracks from 1980; The Good, The Broke & The Ugly, a double album of B-sides, outtakes and rare tracks; Ace On Your Screens, a DVD compilation of rare TV appearances from 1980-81, a live concert from 1981 and a 5.1 audio mix of the original album; The Ace Of Spades story, a 40 page book telling the story of Ace Of Spades through previously unpublished interviews with the people that were there and never before seen photos and memorabilia; the Ace Up Your Sleeve Tour program; the Motorhead Rock Commando comic; and a set of five poker dice that can be played on the game board inside the box set lid. All of this is encased in a bespoke wooden, Wild West dynamite box.

The Super Deluxe box includes all of the above, plus a deck of Motorhead playing cards; a bespoke Texas Hold Em poker mat; a set of Motorhead casino chips; and to Motorhead shot glasses.

A limited edition 7″ reproduction of the Dutch “Ace Of Spades” single, with a previously unreleased instrumental version on Side B, will be available as a gift through Motorhead’s online store, only while supplies last.
