Item Description
On Parole is the fourth recording released by the band Motörhead. It was intended as their first album and left unreleased at the time of its completion in 1976, and it was not released until over three years later, on 8 December 1979, after the commercial success of Overkill and Bomber that same year. It was released without the band's permission, and they consequently distanced themselves from it.Originally intended for a 1976 release date, United Artists was not convinced of the album's commercial potential and did not want to release it at the time. It would remain unreleased for over three years until Motörhead had made a name for themselves with commercial success of their three previous albums, and United Artists decided to cash in on this after the fact. As a result, it was not considered an official release by the band at the time and they did not want it released, as they had moved on, first to Chiswick Records and then Bronze Records, since then.
This is the Vinyl LP edition (1st press) of the album.

Motörhead signed with United Artists when Andrew Lauder, A&R man for Lemmy's old band Hawkwind, secured them a record deal. This is the only album to feature the band's original line-up of Lemmy on vocals and bass, Larry Wallis on guitar and vocals, and Lucas Fox on drums. During the sessions, original producer Dave Edmunds relinquished his duties, being replaced by Fritz Fryer. Drummer Fox was then replaced by Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor, a casual acquaintance of Lemmy's from the 'bikie' drug scene, who had been persuaded to drive him to Rockfield Studios and "bring his drum kit", as he had boasted to Lemmy that he played. Taylor then overdubbed all of Fox's tracks except for "Lost Johnny", as he was being held in custody following an arrest for alleged drunk-and-disorderly conduct when that session was due to take place, and the session time had run out by then.
"Fast" Eddie Clarke, who was the foreman on a houseboat painting job Phil had at the time, had said to him that he played guitar 'in some bands' previously, and was asked to come and try out for a second guitarist role. For unknown reasons, Larry Wallis, after trying the 4-piece line-up at rehearsals, decided to quit the band and move on. Thus the 'classic' line-up of Kilmister, Clarke, Taylor was born, though Eddie doesn't play on this album, it is nearly entirely re-recorded on the debut Chiswick Records album Motörhead in 1977 and is, as a result, a snapshot into how their, now famous, sound progression took.
