Another Perfect Day
Another Perfect Day is Motörhead's sixth studio album, released in the UK and Europe on 4 June 1983. It followed Iron Fist from 1982 and was the band's last studio album for Bronze Records, though the material also lists Ariola as the label, so the safest framing is its place in the sequence before Orgasmatron.
Its big talking point is the line-up: lead guitarist Brian "Robbo" Robertson, best known for his work with Thin Lizzy, appears here and on no other Motörhead studio record. That one-off pairing makes it a curious chapter for anyone who knows the band through the harder-edged albums on either side.
