On Parole

Encyclopedia : O : ON : ONP : On Parole


On Parole was the first album recorded by Motörhead in 1975. However, the record label was not pleased with the recorded material, so they decided not to release it. It was released unofficially in 1979, when the band had established some reputation with their Overkill and Bomber albums. This is the only album to feature the band's initial line-up: Lemmy Kilmister on bass and vocals, Larry Wallis on lead guitar and vocals (on "Vibrator" and "Fools"). After the original drummer Lucas Fox left the band, Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor joined to overdub the tracks that Fox had recorded. He was unable to overdub "Lost Johnny", which remains as the only track in the entire Motörhead discography to feature Lucas Fox on the drums.
