The Motors 1



It has taken me almost 30 years to get my hands on the CD version of the Motors debut album '1', as it has taken all this time for it to be actually released in this format... and it is long overdue! Originally unleashed in 1977, this superb album contains a fine collection of high energy pulsating rock and roll, and was a big hit in those days of punk and new wave bands. Dancing The Night Away is the stand out track, a relentless and powerful slice of rock, six minutes of pure joy. The Motors' second album Approved by the Motors is good too, but different as it is more commercial than '1', and contains the more familiar hits Airport and Forget About You, which are played even today on some radio stations. I'm happy to share the amazing Dancing The Night Away, one of my all time favourite tracks. Enjoy it!
