• This release highlights the classic 'Three Amigos' lineup of Lemmy Kilmister, Eddie Clarke, and Phil Taylor during a pivotal early phase of the band.
• The album includes 11 previously unheard recordings with raw versions of tracks later featured on their debut album and the shelved On Parole.
• A deluxe edition will include the live album Blitzkrieg on Birmingham ’77 and unreleased recordings from a Birmingham show at Barbarella's in 1977.
