Motörhead - Nö Sleep At All (1988) [Japanese Limited Release]

No Sleep at All is Motorhead's second "official" live album. But the band was unhappy with the final cut and its release sparked a legal battle which marked their parting with their record company.
Lemmy recalls that the album was a mistake and failed sales-wise, he considers it to be 'all right' but thinks it could have been better, explaining:

We had Guy Bidmead mix it because we wanted to give him another try, mainly because he had been Vic Maile's boy and Vic was a great live mixer. After that, I think we finally figured out that Guy just wasn't Vic Maile. Don't get me wrong, though — after all I've said about Guy, it was only 'cause he was taking orders from us. He was too nice! Vic knew when to tell us to shut the f*ck up!

… a lot of fans were saying that they want to hear this line-up on a live album. Everybody seems to record at the Hammersmith Odeon don't they? Or the Fillmore East when that was going, or the Budokan and all those flash places. So we thought we'd do it in Finland… (~ Würzel)

# - as bonus tracks
The CD re-issues (on Essential and Sanctuary, each a subsidiary of Castle records - the re-issues are identical) claimed to have two "bonus" tracks - "Stay Clean" and "Metropolis". However, these were not bonus tracks to the original CD release (GWR GWCD 31 in the UK), the tracklisting of which is as above. Oddly, the reissues had the original vinyl and cassette running order and tacked the two tracks cut from those releases onto the end of the CD.
