Snake Bite Love Snake Bite Love Snake Bite Love

Notes

The 1998 studio album is often said to have been done in a great hurry. And so are of course all Motorhead albums it seems but in some interviews it is said by the band that this album actually contains a few songs they thinkt did not get the time they should have. Another thing that is often said is that the title track was a totally different song from the beginning but after the drums had been done by Mikkey Phil and Lemmy decided to change the hole song but they kept the drums!

Howard Benson was producer once again.

The vinyl version is, like all vinyl releases from March Or Die, very collectable and they often fetch quite a high price. And of course as a result, it was re-pressed on vinyl in 2010 and copies flooded Ebay. The manufacturer also pressed some copies on coloured vinyl. The year before, 2009, picture discs copies were made by someone. Also so called "Test pressings" of this picture disc were sold on Ebay. As for CDs there is an Argentina pressings with a live bonus track, "Over Your Shoulder".
