Motörhead’s entire catalog is on its way to being re-released as the group has teamed up with BMG for a series of reissues. The first will be the Motörhead ‘79 campaign, which marks the celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Overkill and Bomber albums. On October 25th, 2019, these classic records will be available in new deluxe editions, both as hardbound bookpacks in two CD and triple LP format, which features previously unheard concerts from the group’s circa 1979 tours, interviews, and unseen photos.
