The ongoing Motörhead live recording series, The Löst Tapes, is being collected on a new eight-disc CD box set arriving February 23rd. In addition, a fifth volume in the series, Live at Donington Download Fest ’08, has been announced as part the box set and as a standalone vinyl release.
The Motörhead camp launched The Löst Tapes series in 2021, restoring previously unreleased Motörhead concert recordings sourced from cassette tapes discovered in the archives of the late Lemmy Kilmister.
“[Cassettes] were a standard part of every tour … Motörhead were certainly no exception, recording show after show,” read the press release for the box set. “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. Only the magic password would release them, and thankfully, Lem had scribbled it down and left it inside an old sketch book for us.”
“There were loads of the dirty, dusty, greasy” tapes, according the press release, which were then made available via “carefully digitized transfers.”
The CD box set contains the newly announced fifth volume (Live at Donington Download Fest ’08) as well as the previous four volumes, which were originally released on vinyl and digitally: Live in Madrid 1995; Live in Norwich 1998; Live in Malmö 2000; and Live in Heilbronn 1984.
The Löst Tapes CD box set arrives February 23rd and can be pre-ordered here. Meanwhile, the standalone vinyl release of Live at Donington Download Fest ’08 also drops February 23rd and can be pre-ordered here.
