"On Parole (The Alternative Mixes) showcases the very first recordings of Motörhead, captured between 1975 and 1976 when the band was still in its infancy. Originally released in 1979 by United Artists Records, this historic album immortalizes the band's first lineup featuring Lemmy Kilmister on bass and vocals, Larry Wallis (Pink Fairies) on guitar, along with Phil Taylor and Lucas Fox on drums for “Lost Johnny.” These new alternative mixes, created in 2026 by Richard Digby Smith, are available on vinyl for the first time, offering a fresh perspective on the origins of Motörhead's unique sound. This edition includes essential tracks like “Motorhead” and “Iron Horse – Born To Lose,” as well as covers of Hawkwind’s “The Watcher” and “Lost Johnny,” showcasing the raw power and enduring legacy of the band from its earliest recordings.
