Motörhead Great Pleasure 1981
EP · 45 years old this year
Great Pleasure
Great Pleasure is an EP by Motörhead, released in 1981 on the Bronze label. It is a small item in the band's catalogue, a short-form release rather than a full studio album.
It arrived between Ace of Spades, from 1980, and Iron Fist, from 1982, so it belongs to the stretch when the band were working at their busiest on Bronze. For anyone tracing the group's story through its records, it marks a point between two of their best-known albums.
