Motörhead Share Previously Unreleased Sound Check

---

Life on the road isn’t all glamour and rock’n’roll excess, lot’s needs to done to set-up shows and get them to run smoothly. One integral part of the daily grind on the road is the sound check, although very little of it is ever seen or documented in the public domain.

Fortunately, today the band have shared a previously unreleased sound check of ‘Stay Clean’.

The newly released sound check was recorded when the band were riding high on the success of ‘Ace Of Spades’. Motörhead’s punishing tour schedule in 1981 took them all over the globe and saw them have a mobile recording studio in tow as they recorded their thunderous, number 1 live album, ‘No Sleep ‘Til Hammersmith’ (Which is celebrating its 40th year).

This rare recording of them performing ‘Stay Clean’ as they warmed up for the night at Newcastle on March 30 1981 is accompanied by a video containing behind the scenes montages of the backbone of the MOTÖRHEAD live show; the legendary road crew!

Check out the sound check here:

‘No Sleep ‘Til Hammersmith’ is set to receive a special deluxe CD box-set in celebration for it’s 40th anniversary. The new deluxe CD is set for release on June 25th, and is available to pre-order here.
