5.0 out of 5 stars The best Motorhead anthology, September 18, 2002

Even though it came out in 1984, I'd give this the edge over the 2000 "Best of..." anthology for a greater concentration of hits and more tracks per dollar. This is the best place to start for the curious or newcomers and a nice recap for the committed. Great remastering and booklet.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Hell of a Collection, July 7, 2011

By the time this album was released, Motorhead had already gone through a major transformation and had two lead/rhythm guitarists added to replace Brian Robertson; in Wurzel and Phil Campbell, and Pete Gill(ex-Saxon) took over the drum slot vacated by Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor. Bronze Records decided to put out a "best of" collection that featured the classic Motorhead Lineup of "Fast" Eddie Clarke, Lemmy and "Philthy" most prominently but Lem wasn't going to let the record label slip by with just that and not only got involved in the picking of tracks, but also managed to get 4 new numbers by the current incarnation of the group onto the record.

No Remorse is a phenomenal introduction to Motorhead and I think it features most of their classic material in the forms of Ace of Spades, Bomber, Metropolis, We Are the Roadcrew, No Class and Stay Clean, to name a few. Fast Eddie's tenure in the band although brief, compared to Phil Campbell,(whom remains Motorhead's guitarist to this day)does provide the blueprint for everything that Lemmy and co. would do within the future. The Sanctuary remaster is interesting in the offering of 5 more bonus tracks that expand on the orginal and have 2 tracks done with Plasmatics' singer Wendy O. Williams, namely No Class and the Tammy Wynette song Stand By Your Man(??!!) Its rumoured that Eddie had actually decided to leave the band because of Lemmy's choice to include this as Motorhead's next single but certainly there were other factors involved hence Clarke's next project with Pete Way in Fastway being the main impetus behind this factor. Nevertheless, the 4 new tracks in Snaggletooth, Steal Your Face, Locomotive and Killed by Death illustrate that Motorhead had not lost any speed or power to their sound but had merely enhanced it.

For anyone meaning to check out Motorhead for an overview, I highly recommend this release(preferably the Santuary remaster) above all and anything else. 5 major stars.

This is where I started with Motorhead. I still consider it essential, despite owning "Stone Deaf Forever". Pure "Motor-Music".
