Description

The 2012 Martin Popoff short eBook about Motorhead's album Overkill.

This "making of" essay is one of my longer, more involved ones, featuring exclusive commentary from the elusive Philthy Animal Taylor and most richly Fast Eddie Clarke, who really leans into the telling of the tale.

Fond memories of getting this album, stumbling across it at Strawberry Jams in Spokane as a new release, instantly but briefly driving me mad right there in the store, 'cos the Snaggletooth graphic had suddenly exploded into colour, in contrast with the basic frontage of the band's sooty debut.

The Overkill buck-a-shot "print single" also includes a nice gaggle of memorabilia shots plus some unseen live photography from my personal archive.
