Remember those Those things with the dual spools and loads of wide brown plastic recording string thatd occasionally unravel and hang out of the shell, requiring a pencil and firm wrist to spin back into placeYeah, well, once upon a time, oldschool sound systems contained cassette decks for the express purpose of recording shows, and these cassette things were a standard part of every tour. Motrhead were certainly no exception, recording show after show. They contain gold, pure aural gold, and had for many years sat hundreds of feet underground in a small cave Lemmy owned, guarded by small, hairy centurions in Roman armor with small spears and bad attitudes.
