Motörhead and BMG have announced the launch of an extensive deluxe reissue series that will span the late, great Lemmy and Co.’s illustrious career. First up, “Motörhead ’79” campaign, which commemorates the 40th anniversary of the landmark Overkill and Bomber albums with spiffy new editions, both as hardbound bookpacks in two CD and triple LP format.
