Description

Original double album with gatefold cover Although it isn't as extensive as No Remorse, All the Aces: The Best of Motorhead does gather the best of the best of that collection, as well as the cream of the uneven, Bill Laswell-produced Orgasmatron (although the "Ace of Spades" remix that closes the original track listing could have been left off in favor of another, more necessary item). There's plenty of quality material from Motorhead's early-'80s heyday that didn't make the cut here, so it's better to think of All the Aces as a concise survey rather than a definitive encapsulation. But it is a very good concise survey. The first press of the album include a separate bonus disc titled ‘The Muggers Tapes’, a live recording of a side project called the Muggers featuring Eddie Clarke, Phil Taylor, John "Speedy" Keen, and Billy Wrath. It's closer to heavy pub rock than metal, and it's designed to entice the Motorhead rarities collector who already has the material here; it pales in comparison to the power of the Motorhead songs, and non-collectors probably won't find it all that crucial.
