Chiswick

Chiswick is a sublabel and forerunner of Ace Records, established in 1975 by Ted Carroll and Roger Armstrong. Originating from a second-hand 45 records market stall in London, they were later joined by record enthusiast Trevor Churchill. In the late 70s, Chiswick became known for releasing music by "pub rock" bands. Today, it is recognized as the punk, power pop, and rock label within the Ace Records family.
The label's German releases were distributed by Metronome Musik GmbH and its label code is LC 4658. For unofficial releases, please refer to [l477609].

Motorhead was a post-punk band from Greater Manchester, UK that existed from 1976 to 2018. The band, led by the iconic Mark E. Smith, released numerous singles and albums throughout their career. Known for their ever-changing lineup, Motorhead had over 30 different line-ups during their time together.

In addition to their music, Motorhead also ventured into other artistic endeavors such as releasing a play called 'Hey Luciani' and a ballet titled 'I am Kurious Oranj'. They were also regulars on John Peel's Radio 1 show, recording an impressive 24 sessions between June 1978 and August 2004.

Although the band went through many changes over the years, some of the key members included Mark E. Smith on vocals, Pete Greenway on guitar, Dave "The Eagle" Spurr on bass, Elena Poulou on keyboards, Keiron Melling on drums. Other notable members who joined at various points include Daren Garratt and Mike Clapham.

Reissues

This all-time classic of heavy metal was originally released by Chiswick back in June 1977. Although the 7” version in a picture sleeve was later reissued on Big Beat the original Chiswick 12” has not been reissued – until now.  Musically, this is audio bludgeon at its finest and a no-nonsense classic produced by John “Speedy” Keen. Whilst the title track appears on their classic debut LP - also first released by Chiswick in 1977 - the flip side ‘City Kids’ was unique to this release.   This reissue replicates the original 12” sleeve and Chiswick labels – you don’t mess with a classic.
