Motörhead ? "No Remorse" Pro TV ?– MOTOR 1 Limited Edition, Leather Sleeve. 2 × Vinyl, LPs released in a leather sleeve, including printed inner sleeves with lyrics, pictures and info. The album was released in 1984.
The vinyl does have one or two marks which can cause a bit of crackle between tracks and in quieter moments, such as they are on this raucous LP. Both albums play through without any hop, skip or jump on my Crosley portable. The albums are housed in their original printed lyric inner sleeves, both of which are open on two sides, so I don't know if they were designed like this or if they're ripped. I've set the price as if it's the latter. The leather sleeve has been folded across the top. It's bigger than a standard LP sleeve, so I assume it's been forced to fit into storage that's too small. It is intact, no tears or writing.

"No Remorse" is a compilation album by Motörhead, released 15 September 1984, covering their years under contract with Bronze Records and including four newly recorded tracks.
This is the last album the band made for Bronze Records, and the first to feature the new and consistent line-up of Lemmy, Zööm, Würzel, and the short lived involvement of Pete Gill on drums.
In addition to the usual cardboard sleeve, the original LPs were also available in a leather-effect sleeve which had silver on black artwork, completely reworked by Joe Petagno in much finer detail than the original with various differences (such as an iron cross). There was a cassette version released in a leather pouch with wording mimicking the Government Health Warning often found on a cigarette packet, about the contents being potentially damaging to the health. They also did a television advert for the album, which featured a brief medley of several songs before Lemmy's voice was heard to declare, "No Remorse... go out and get it!"
The band promoted the album with their "No Remorse – Death on the Road" tour, conducted between 24 October – 7 November 1984. They also made a live appearance on 26 October on the ITV pop/rock music programme "The Tube", playing "Killed by Death," "Steal Your Face" and "Overkill." However, the programme credits came up during "Steal Your Face," which faded out as the broadcast concluded. "Overkill" would eventually be broadcast some 20 years later, during a retrospective Best of the Tube TV series.
AllMusic review states: "..There have been dozens and dozens of Motörhead compilations released over the decades, but the first one remains definitive, even if it's not perfect..."No Remorse" is to Motörhead what "We Sold Our Soul for Rock 'n' Roll" is to Black Sabbath – an age-old collection that every metalhead seemed to own at some point, the one that seemed to define the band for generations on end. "No Remorse" is one of those classic albums, no doubt.."
