Received as part of a trade with Jansson (Appreciated as always...), this required no work at all, except for running through TLH for sbe's & conversion...As the recording is not great (check samples below), I've been working on this for a good 6 months to try & improve it, sadly to no avail - if anyone wants to try & remaster this, Please be my guest...
As far as I can tell, this was only the 2nd appearance (& their 1st headliner there) at the Hammersmith Odeon for The Three Ghosts of Christmas, as part of the 'White Vinyl Fever Tour', & it is indeed a stellar performance including an early version of '...Sister' & the debuts of 'No Class' (both with alternative lyrics) as well as 'Limb From Limb' & '...Pay Your Price' - in the pre-Health & Safety days, they even managed to use fireworks (not stage pyro) onstage (as it was 'Bonfire Night') including a set of sparklers on a track above Philthy, which promptly got
stuck & rained sparks down on him...Now the caveat - this is not a great recording, as evinced by the samples below - the quality goes up & down, improving slightly as the show goes on - all three elements are present & discernable, the only real issue is that the mic almost certainly just couldn't handle the volume...& Remember - They were Motorhead, & They played Rock & fucking Roll - Don't forget 'em...
