Motorhead’s landmark 1980 album Ace Of Spades is to be reissued to mark its 40th anniversary.
It’ll be released on October 30 on various formats including 2CD and 3LP, while a deluxe version will contain a wealth of bonus material – including 42 previously unreleased tracks.
The box set will include all the original album tracks which have been remastered at half-speed from the original masters, live shows from Belfast and Orleans, a 10-inch EP of previously unreleased instrumentals and a double album of b-sides, rare cuts and studio outtakes titled The Good, The Broke & The Ugly.
A DVD will compile a selection of Motorhead’s TV appearances from the early 80s alongside a 5.1 audio mix of the Ace Of Spades album.
A 40-page book featuring previously unpublished interviews with the band, memorabilia and photos will be included in the deluxe edition, with an Ace Up Your Sleeve tour programme, Motorhead Rock Commando comic, and a limited edition 7-inch reproduction of the Dutch Ace Of Spades single with a previously unreleased instrumental version on the b-side will also feature.
And as if that wasn’t enough, the deluxe edition will be bundled with five poker dice which can be used to play on a game board on the inside of the box.
To mark the news, Motorhead’s performance of Ace Of Spades from Belfast in 1981 has been released and can be found below along with further album details.
The Ace Of Spades reissue is now available to pre-order.
In May this year, a new lyric video for Ace Of Spades was released to mark the first annual Motorhead Day, which was billed as the “loudest day of the year.”
