Mötley Crüe is celebrating the records that turned them into one of the most dangerous and defining hard rock bands of the ’80s with the release of “Crücial Crüe 1981-1989,” a limited edition picture disc box set spotlighting the band’s first five studio albums.
Available now via BMG, the collection arrives as a 5LP Picture Disc Set, a 5CD Picture Disc Replica Set, and an ultra-limited 250-unit hand-numbered Crüeseum Exclusive featuring a reverse-color outer box. The set brings together the band’s legendary first run of albums: “Too Fast For Love” (1981), “Shout At The Devil” (1983), “Theatre Of Pain” (1985), “Girls, Girls, Girls” (1987), and “Dr. Feelgood” (1989).
That era produced some of Mötley Crüe’s most enduring anthems, including “Live Wire,” “Too Fast For Love,” “Shout At The Devil,” “Looks That Kill,” “Home Sweet Home,” “Smokin’ In The Boys Room,” “Girls, Girls, Girls,” “Wild Side,” “Dr. Feelgood,” “Kickstart My Heart,” “Don’t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away),” and more.
The release serves as a high-voltage celebration of the band’s early catalog, from the raw Sunset Strip grit of “Too Fast For Love” to the arena-sized dominance of “Dr. Feelgood.” Across these five albums, Mötley Crüe helped define the sound, look, and attitude of a generation, delivering a run of records that still powers their live shows today.
