Motörhead to release ‘We Take No Prisoners’

The project will be available this fall

Back in the golden era of the singles of the 1970s and 80s, Motörhead would regularly assault the ears of Top 40 chart listeners on a Sunday afternoon with a string of smash hits.

The single as a format may have been less prominent from the 90s onwards due to the dawn of the CD, but that didn’t diminish the caliber of the singles and promos that Motörhead continued to release. These mostly CD singles are now rare and highly collectible, so it only feels fitting for this era of the band’s bullet belt full of hits to be reappraised and released on the format that singles were born for 7-inch vinyl.

We Take No Prisoners is a collection of Motörhead singles spanning 1995 to 2006, and available as a nine 7-inch single box set and expanded double CD and digital editions on October 25th via BMG. From crowd pleasers like the pummeling “Sacrifice,” through their unique cover of Sex Pistols, “God Save The Queen” to the semi-acoustic roots vibes of “Whorehouse Blues,” no one could deny their songwriting prowess and sheer rock power was still second to none.

With a selection of rare live and radio edits thrown in for good measure and a long-lost promo interview with Lemmy and Mikkey Dee from 2004, this is a definitive collection of this era of the band and the songs that drove the success of the albums they were lifted from.
