| Motörhead is the debut album by the British heavy metal band Motörhead.
On April 1, 1977, after a few unsuccessful years of toiling in obscurity hoping for a record deal, Motörhead decided to do their last show at the London Marquee Club. They asked Ted Carroll, head of Chiswick Records, to record the show for posterity. Instead of recording it, he offered a chance for the band to record a single. This being their last chance, they recorded eleven backing tracks in just two days, impressing Carroll enough to offer them further studio to finish the tracks. Eight of those tracks were released on their eponymous debut album - Motörhead. The album did well enough to ensure the band would remain together, but it was their next album, 1979's Overkill, that was their real breakthrough. The title track of the "Motorhead" single, was coupled with the B-side "City Kids" and released as 7" and 12" singles. Four remaining tracks from that recording session were shelved until 1980, when they were released on the Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers EP. Later the B-side and the EP were added to CD releases of the debut album. The initial release was printed in silver on black, the sleeve artwork featuring Snaggletooth, the fanged face that serves as a symbol of Motörhead, created by artist Joe Petagno. Legend has it that only the first 600 sleeves were printed in sliver, before it was realised that it was too expensive to continue. The inner sleeves featured old and new photos of the band and friends, plus letters of thanks from Lemmy, Eddie and Phil. The advertisements for the album, single and tour bore the words "Acthung! This Band Takes No Prisoners". Earlier versions of tracks 1-4, 9, and 11 were originally recorded in 1975 for Motörhead's would-be debut album On Parole, however, it was not released until 1979, when the record label that held its rights decided to capitalize on the band's popularity after the success of Overkill and its follow-up, Bomber.
