This album was recorded during the best part of late January and February 1982 at Morgan and Ramport studios in London. Looking back, Lemmy and Phil Taylor admit that it wasn't a good idea for Eddie Clarke to produce the sessions, and even Clarke admits it was a mistake. From the fans' point of view, the tracks were comparable to their earlier predecesssors, but the odd two or three tracks lacked the edge and punch of old. The band were already into the British leg of the 'Iron Fist' tour by the time the album was in the shops.[1] Despite this it reached number 6 in the UK charts.
