Format: Audio CD
Originally released in 1979, as this reissue sure took LONG enough to finally get put out on CD. That's okay. We can't expect EVERY cool lp to be available on compact disc, pronto. Can we? Worthy reissue of the album's original nine in-your-ugly-ass-face tunes, plus four (4) bonus tracks added, of alternative edits of the title cut "On Parole", "City Kids" (also like Pink Fairies version of this song), the band's namesake "Motorhead" and "Leaving Here". Vintage British '70's metal that you simply don't want to be without. Recommended.

I picked up this album handful of spare change, an as investments go, it has more than paid out. Each time I listen to this album, I want to cruise down the highway on a big old fat Harley D, pull into a roadhouse and order a cold beer. Then glass the barkeeper and challenge anyone who dare's rush to his aid.

This is a not designer stubble, faded jean, made-to-order MTV schlock. This is in yer face, lock-up-yer-daughters make Elvis look as harmful as a Teddy Bear, no-holds bar, "On Parole" rock and roll.

Being the "lost" Motorhead album, you may expect this to sound incomplete. Far from it! Lemmy's trademark bass & growl are in development, the songs are more blues-rock based, but tracks like "Iron Horse/Born to Lose" sums up the gonzo-metal appeal that Motorhead are famous for.

There is a true sense of freedom to this album. This music stands for everything the Idol machine is against, music that anyone can play. Rock and roll, on parole, let loose, allowed to play with passion and intensity. The very point of Motorhead. No rules except those we choose to follow.

Born to lose, live to win.

This is a remaster of Motorhead- On Parole.It was recorded in 1975 but was not originally released until 1979. The album was completely re-recorded in 1976 as Motorheads self titled debut. The songs on that release were completley rearranged and sound absolutely nothing like they do on this album.
What I find interesting in this disc, is the fact that, even though it wasn't really quite Motorhead yet, you can still understand the urge to make the music LOUD. The idea was there, it just hadn't really developed yet. In fact, alot of this old school Motorhead recording almost sounds closer to Hawkwind stuff, which was that british acid/prog/revolving door band that Lemmy was in prior.
Many of the tracks have alot of weird fills in them... stuff that one may assume they would never hear on a Motorhead album... such as, high pitch backing vocals, or lazer beam sound effects. VIBRATOR is this cheeky snotty brit punk thing happening. Almost glitterish, with a different lead vocal, but you know the band was having a blast recording it anyway.. It makes me chuckle a little. IRON HORSE starts off with a pretty extensive rasta section. Live At Hammersmith this is not.
Still though, I enjoy this record. Even though the songs are alot cleaner than the Head you may know, for 1975 this is some pretty loud stuff. I would still kill to see more bands play music like this these days. It definately is not as frenetic and blood pumping as albums to follow, but the buzz had to start somewhere. I say, make sure you have Motorhead/Motorhead first, because they really got it right the second time around. However, sometimes I really like these recordings too. It all rocks man. It's Motorhead!

I'd been a fan of the band for a decade before I finally got around to getting this. I was under the impression that the original band actually played on the self-titled debut album. This is not the case. THIS, is the release that has the recordings of Larry Wallis and Lucas Fox and is the real first album by Motorhead. It's a bit less aggressive in places and you get to hear Wallis take lead vocals on some of the tracks ("Vibrator" and "Fools") while Lemmy covers the rest. Chances are if you're a fan of Motorhead then you are a FAN of Motorhead. Casual listeners don't really exist for this band so you should really pick this up so you can get the whole story right from the beginning.

A must have for any Motorhead fan. A highly suggested one for any metal fan. This album was meant to be Motorhead's first, but shortsighted record producers from United Artists were blind to its greatness and the band's potential. While the songs were re-recorded for the actually released first album, Motorhead, the original versions are awesome. A true Motorhead fan should pick up the CD if the price is still right. The only songs that are exactly the same are "Fools" and "Leaving Here." While the new editions include most of these songs since they include the Beer Drinkers and Hellraisers EP, which includes the songs that were not released on Motorhead, this album reveals a more bluesy and rock'n'roll version of Motorhead than the heavy metal days to come. It is a fun album that deserves its rightful listen as an important piece of musical history and Motorhead's infancy.

This to me is the only Motorhead LP that matters. Of course I'm a big Pink Fairies nut so that might be it. You get Larry Wallis from the great Pink Fairies on guitar. It sounds like the Pink Faiies if Lemmy had joined up in '75. Anyway a great greasy slab of drunken Hell's Angel biker rock. Rock on.
