If ever there was one single album that summed up the Motorhead philosophy of “We are Motorhead, and we play Rock ‘n’ Roll Music,” it was 1916. The real “swansong” of the dreamteam/dreamtime line up of Lemmy, Phil Campbell, Wurzel and Philthy Animal Taylor, 1916 raised the bar for Motor albums to follow with its “all killer, no filler” approach, not a duff track to be had.
Lemmy Kilmister was already 16 years the driving force behind Motörhead the recordings for “1916” originated as 1991. Over the years there had been plenty of changes among the band members – actually Kilmister was the only one from the original cast. Nevertheless, the band’s sound had not changed, and also the attractiveness of their steam hammer sounds were the years not harm. As sobering as the reflections on the horrors of the first World War II in the title song may be, so of course entertaining and fun songs like “Going to Brazil”, “Angel City” (an ode to the beautiful and rich party-goers in Los Angeles) and “Ramones” (a tribute to the New York punk band ). Whether the topic is simply pure fun or more serious nature, “1916” is one of the most inspired plates of Motörhead.
Pure Pleasure take such pride in their releases – they got Ray Staff (a golden-eared genius!!) to remaster the album from the ORIGINAL analogue tapes. They got it pressed at Europes’ best plant – Pallas. They have housed it in a thick GATEFOLD sleeve, with liner notes by yours truly. It’s a sonic work of art! And so to the icing on the cake. It’s rankled me for 18 years that the cover of ‘1916’ , the album that with it’s epic title track finale tells one man’s poignant story of the senseless bloodshed on the fields of France, showed flags from so many participating nations in the futile game of war, that said cover didn’t include the French flag! We managed to get this rectified in the shape of 150 high-grade 12″ x 12″ art prints showing the alternate artwork”.
No single Motorhead album represents the band’s “We are Motorhead, and we play rock ‘n’ roll music,” philosophy better than 1916. The true swansong from the Lemmy, Phil Campbell, Wurzel and Phil ‘Philthy Animal’ Taylor line-up, this 1991 release raised the heavy metal bar forevermore with its “all killer, no filler” approach. 1916 reached #24 on the U.K. charts and was nominated for a Best Metal Performance at the 1992 Grammy Awards. Remastered by Ray Staff at Air Mastering in Lyndhurst Hall, London.
