2015 edition on black vinyl with printed innersleeve

With the 1980 release of Ace of Spaces, Motörhead had theiranthem of anthems — that is, the title track — the one trademarksong that would summarize everything that made this earlyincarnation of the band so legendary, a song that would be blastedby legions of metalheads for generations on end. It’s a legendarysong, for sure, all two minutes and 49 bracing seconds of it. Andthe album of the same name is legendary as well, among Motörhead’sall-time best, often considered their single best, in fact, alongwith Overkill. Ace of Spades was Motörhead’s third great album in arow, following the 1979 releases of Overkill and Bomber,respectively. Those two albums have a lot in common with Ace ofSpaces. The classic lineup — Lemmy (bass and vocals), “Fast” EddieClarke (guitar), and “Philthy Animal” Taylor (drums) — is still inplace and sounding as alive and crazed as ever. The album is stillrock-solid, boasting several superlative standouts. Actually,besides the especially high number of standouts on Ace of Spades —at least relative to Bomber, which wasn’t quite as strong overallas Overkill had been — the only key difference between this 1980album and its two 1979 predecessors is the producer, in this caseVic Maile. The result of his work isn’t all that different fromthat of Jimmy Miller, the longtime Rolling Stones producer who hadworked on Overkill and Bomber, but it’s enough to give Ace ofSpaces a feeling distinct from its two very similar-soundingpredecessors. This singular sound (still loud and in your face,rest assured), along with the exceptionally strong songwriting andthe legendary stature of the title track, makes Ace of Spades theideal Motörhead album if one were to choose one and only one studioalbum. It’s highly debatable whether Ace of Spaces is tops over thebreakthrough Overkill, as the latter is more landmark because ofits earlier release, and is somewhat rougher around the edges, too.Either way, Ace of Spades rightly deserves its legacy as a classic.There’s no debating that.
