On Parole

On Parole is the debut recording made by the band Motörhead, released 8 December 1979, by United Artists Records, after the commercial success of Overkill and Bomber that same year. Originally intended for a 1976 release date, United Artists was not convinced of the album's commercial potential and did not want to release it at the time. It would remain unreleased for over three years until Motörhead had made a name for themselves with commercial success of their three released albums at this point, and United Artists decided to cash in on this after the fact. As a result, it was not considered an Official Release by the band at the time and they did not want it released, as they had moved to Chiswick Records and onto Bronze Records since.
