History
After guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke left Motörhead in 1982 on their second US tour, guitarist Brian "Robbo" Robertson (ex-Thin Lizzy, Wild Horses) was recruited to complete the tour. On their return to the UK the band recorded the album Another Perfect Day.
Following the album and tour, Robertson and drummer Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor left Motörhead to form the band Operator, leaving vocalist/bassist Lemmy Kilmister to continue on with Motörhead. None of the songs from Another Perfect Day were performed live after Robertson's departure in 1983 until 1999. Since then, "Shine", "Dancing on Your Grave", "I Got Mine" and "Another Perfect Day" have been featured in the band's live set.
The original vinyl release featured a lyric-sheet insert, with a cartoon storyboard of the adventures of the new band, as it were. The cassette version had a vastly different track list, with "I Got Mine" opening the album and "Back at the Funny Farm" opening side two.
In 1988 Castle Communications re-issued this album along with Overkill – in a gatefold sleeve.
The thrash metal band Sepultura named themselves after the third track from this album, "Dancing on Your Grave".
The songs "Back at the Funny Farm" and "Marching Off to War" were featured on the video game Brütal Legend.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill. He has done all he could to debase and enslave her mind; and now he looks triumphantly on the ruin he has wrought, and say, the being he has thus deeply injured is his inferior.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
