The album 'Overkill' was ten times more powerful than their first self-titled album, which was a killer in itself. The production was in the capable and experienced hands of one Jimmy Miller, whose previous successes had been with the likes of the Rolling Stones. He brought out the very best in the boys and the total effect was lethal. 'Overkill' is full of real skull crackers, brain damaging with the hit singles'Overkill' and 'No Class', you can doubtless guess the destroying effect of the whole affair. That's Motorhead; straight, basic, down to earth rock and roll, with absolutely no holds barred.

This edition features a bonus disc of a live set from Aylesbury 31/03/79.
