- German release with No Album Title
A rare German pressing of Mötley Crüe's debut album "Too Fast For Love" omits the title on the label. This unique variant adds a touch of mystery and intrigue to the record. The music remains the same, featuring all the iconic tracks that made the album a success. This bare-bones pressing is a sought-after collector's item for fans and vinyl enthusiasts alike.
Mötley Crüe's debut album, "Too Fast For Love," is a landmark release in the glam metal genre. Originally released in 1981 on their own independent label, Leathür Records, the album gained notoriety for its raw energy and rebellious attitude. However, for German record collectors, there exists a unique variant of this debut: a 12" LP pressing that omits the album title entirely from the record label.
This German pressing of "Too Fast For Love" stands out for its minimalist presentation. Whereas the standard release prominently features the album title on the label, the German version keeps it bare-bones, leaving only the band's name and a tracklist. This absence of the album title adds a touch of mystery and intrigue to the record, particularly for those unfamiliar with Mötley Crüe's early work.
The reason behind this omission remains unclear. It's possible it was an oversight during the pressing process, or perhaps a deliberate choice by the German distributor. Regardless, it has become a sought-after collector's item for fans of the band and vinyl enthusiasts alike.
The music itself, of course, remains the same. This German pressing features all the iconic tracks that made "Too Fast For Love" a success, including "Live Wire," "Public Enemy #1," and the title track (which, ironically, is missing from the label). The raw production and in-your-face attitude that defined Mötley Crüe's early sound are on full display, making it a vital listen for any fan of hard rock and heavy metal.
