Hero of the day
This is the first release of "Hero of the day" as a single. It was later also released as a live single with the symphony. This was the first time we heard all the Motorhead covers. A few collectors items here.

Released by Vertigo on the 9th of September, by Sony on the 19th, while Northern America had to wait until the 22nd of October to get their hands on the single
