Guide Review - Motorhead - Orgasmatron

The first disc is the original 1986 album. The second disc is bonus material that includes the following: "On The Road" (live 12" single B-side), "Steal Your Face" (live 12" single B-side), "Claw" (alternative version) and the live Kerrang! Wooargh Weekender, Live From Caister, Great Yarmouth that was recorded on October 13, 1984.

The live show doesn't quite match up chronologically with this album, but the song "Nothing Up My Sleeve" did end up on the album. The original album was one where they beefed up the arrangements to be a little more complex than some of their previous albums. The title track is a great song, there are several good songs and a couple are fair to middlin'.
