No Remorse - Motorhead

General card sleeve

No Remorse is a compilation album, released in 1984, consisting of Motorhead's back catalogue while signed to Bronze Records. Lemmy believed that a compilation was a sign of the death of the band so insisted that they record new tracks for it ("Killed By Death", "Snaggletooth", "Steal Your Face" and "Locomotive").

There aren't any secrets as such associated with this one but there are some cool packaging variations out there.

As well as the usual and pretty dull card sleeve, the original album was also available with a leather sleeve with silver artwork that had been reworked in higher detail and with several slight differences, most notably the iron cross. Later cassette versions were also released in a leather pouch with wording designed to mimic the warnings found on cigarette packets about the contents being potentially damaging to health. Not necessarily untrue when listening to Motorhead!

Their Satanic Majesties Request - The Rolling Stones

Released on the 8th December 1967 by Decca Records, Their Satanic Majesties Request is the 6th British release and the 8th American release by the Rolling Stones. As far as secrets go, this album's gatefold sleeve is full of 'em!

The title itself is said to be a play on the text found inside a British passport; "Her Britannic Majesty requests and requires..." God knows why but someone though it sounded good.

It was originally released with a holographic 3D cover but it was so costly to create that the label actually lost money for every copy sold so later pressings were released with a standard card sleeve.

Open the gatefold and on the inner-left side you'll find a maze, pretty cool except no mater how many times you try you'll never get to the centre. Evil.

Perhaps the biggest known fact is the faces of all 4 Beatles hidden in the cover. The 2 bands were spending a fair amount of time together in those days so it's considered a response to the use of the Stones's name on the The Beatles Sgt Peppers cover.
