Description

2015 edition on black vinyl with printed innersleeve

Though they are usually pegged as heavy metal, Motorhead are actually a rock n roll band in the purest sense. And this aptly titled release reminds you that despite their outrageous speed and ear-shattering distortion, Motorhead tunes have much more in common with Chuck Berry than Black Sabbath. The Rock N Roll album was the second one for the GWR label. It was recorded at the Master Rock and Redwood studios in London. Redwood was actually owned by Michael Palin and during the recording sessions, which were very short, only 14 days, he turned up in the studio and did the spoken word thing at the end of the album. The producer was Guy Bidmead who previously had worked with Vic Maile. According to the band in later interviews Guy was too nice and let the band had too much saying in the recording process. This was the first album with Philthy back behind the drums. Eat The Rich was from the beginning recorded with the same producer as for the Orgasmatron album, that is Bill Laswell and Jason Corsaro but it was remixed by Guy Bidmead. The song was also used for the soundtrack for the film with the same title.
