Editorial Reviews

2 CD set. The first disc features Ace Of Spades, an album that would shift the gears into overdrive, smashing through said rock and securing Motorhead at the top of the Heavy Metal heap. The title track would become the anthem for not only the generation lucky enough to be around upon the singles release but also for countless heavy rockers to follow. Reaching number 15 in the singles chart, the album faired much better reaching number 4 in the UK charts. Ace Of Spades became an instant classic, ably reinforced with a fully loaded bullet belt of charged and volatile rockin' slugs in the shape of tracks like 'Love Me Like A Reptile', 'Shoot You In The Back', 'Live To Win' and 'The Hammer', all of which helped this album to gold status which was later commemorated with a replica gold vinyl release. The second disc features single b-sides, alternative versions, outtakes, rarities, BBC Session and In-Concert material as well as live tracks. Sanctuary. 2005. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

I don't care if you own it already, you can give your old copies to clueless friends. This is the best sounding version of an all time classic. Makes your other records run in fear!

Check out Mighty High...In Drug City.

Motorhead Ace of Spades an early Fast Eddie and Phillthy Animal Taylor line up is always a great record or cd to buy. My vinyl wore out so i bought another then a cd and then this premium bonus cd.
The Classics love me like a reptile, Dance, fire are all on there as they should be and were from the vinyl but heres the bonus you get a second cd with some alternate versions cool as it can get.
My favorite alternative versions on it are Shoot you in the back, a bad ass song to listen to after drinkn beer and watching Westerns. And Fire youd swear it was hardcore punk then its speedmetal.
Thing about this is you can listen to it like you did and youllbe listening to it agian forty years from know cause its a Classic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great album, terrible bottom end...muddy bass.., March 6, 2010

I freakin' love this album...but they should remix it...to fix the terrible...god awful muddy bass on this album. I even bought it on DVD-A...hoping they would fix it...they did not. Great record, terrible mix. Don't believe me? Adjust your bass listening to this album and see what happens. Instant garbage.
