FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. It is a 1982 European first pressing on Bronze with catalogue number 204 636 and the original inner sleeve.

What does Media VG+ / Cover VG+ mean?
VG+ (Very Good Plus) means, for both record and sleeve, light signs of use that hardly affect the overall impression. The sleeve shows light edge wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Why is Iron Fist a turning point for Motörhead?
It is the last album with Fast Eddie Clarke. He left the band in May 1982 during the North American tour, after a dispute over the single Stand By Your Man with Wendy O. Williams. His replacement was Brian Robertson.

Do you have more Motörhead records?
Yes, for example the reissue Motörhead – Iron Fist (40th Anniversary, 2022) or Motörhead – Orgasmatron as a picture disc. More titles are in our Metal collection.
