1916

Notes

The Grammy nominated 1916 album was the first studio album since 1987. That is the longest time span between any Motorhead studio albums. Some of the explanation was contractual disputes with their old label GWR. Now they finally had a contract with a new label and this time it was with a major label, Sony. The album was released on the subsiduary WTG.

Going To Brazil was first ever played live in Sweden in 1989 (Burridge, 2012, Live To Win).

I once saw this cassette on Ebay: demo cassette It was listed as a demo cassette. According to the song list there are two different versions of the song 1916. I donīt think the different version has been released anywhere else and I have so far never seen it on any bootlegs either.
