Discover the holy grail of Motörhead history with The Manticore Tapes, the recently unearthed first-ever recordings of the legendary "Three Amigos" lineup from 1976. Captured at the iconic Manticore Studios, these raw, previously unheard sessions reveal the birth of one of metal's most influential bands in their most primal form. Classic Rock awarded this essential release four stars, praising how it "manages to pull off the considerable trick of feeling like a complete whole."

This ultra-rare picture disc edition is limited to just 500 copies and features a striking black rim design housed in a PVC cover with flap. Some copies include an exclusive 8" x 10" photo card, making this a true collector's prize celebrating fifty years of Motörhead's deafening legacy. With Lemmy's inter-song banter intact and alternate takes of classics like "Vibrator" and "Motörhead," this release offers an intimate "live in the studio" experience that captures the explosive energy of rock's most uncompromising trio.
