Motorhead - 1975 Photo Book

This limited edition 125pp hardcover photo book documents the essential first year of Motörhead! Stunning vintage live, session, and candid photographs by Roger Morton capture the foundation of the band featuring Lemmy Kilmister, guitarist Larry Wallis (ex-Blodwyn Pig, ex-UFO, ex-Pink Fairies), and drummer Lucas Fox.

Originally known as “Bastards,” the original lineup of Motörhead played its first show on July 20, 1975, at the Roundhouse in London. Motörhead 1975 captures the energy and street aggression of this raucous period.

The book also features an epilogue by original drummer Lucas Fox.

“‘This will be the dirtiest band in the world,'” announced Lemmy, upon forming this new band. At the moment Motörhead are just slightly grubby, but they’re well on their way.”—Geoff Barton, Sounds, July 26, 1975
