MÖTLEY CRÜE ‘TOO FAST FOR LOVE 45TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION’ BOX SET

LOS ANGELES, CA — (October 30, 2026) — Today, Mötley Crüe releases a newly remastered 45th Anniversary Edition of their legendary debut album Too Fast For Love, via BMG.

One of the best debut albums of all time, Too Fast For Love was the first great Los Angeles hard rock album of the ‘80s, helping kick open the doors for that decade’s fertile Hollywood rock scene, as well as the signing frenzy and imitators that followed. Originally self-released in November 1981 in a pressing of just 900 LPs on the band’s own Leathür Records imprint, Too Fast For Love was a true DIY statement. Fueled by the Crüe’s explosive live shows, the album quickly became a sought-after underground release and Elektra Records signed the band less than six months later.

With a retooled tracklist, a remixed and remastered version of Too Fast For Love was issued in August 1982. Lead single “Live Wire” hit the airwaves and the classic music video coincided with the then-recent launch of MTV, which gave many hard rock fans their introduction to the Crüe.  The band’s punk attitude, glam-rock swagger, and explosive live presence quickly separated them from the pack. Too Fast For Love was certified PLATINUM in the US and GOLD in Canada and marked the band’s first of many chart appearances, hitting #77 US, #17 UK Rock & Metal, #77 Scottish Albums, & #95 Swiss Albums.  Opening track “Live Wire” has been a cornerstone of the band’s live set over the past 45 years and has found a new audience via high-energy, fast-paced uses in video games, TV shows, movies and commercials. The band’s recent tour setlist also includes “Too Fast For Love” and “Take Me To The Top,” proving the enduring love from the fans for the album. The filth and fury of those tracks contrast with the more reflective “On With The Show”, “Starry Eyes” and “Merry-Go-Round,” showcasing the vast songwriting range behind the album.

The centerpiece of the 45th anniversary celebration is a limited edition deluxe box set that includes the 1981 Leathür Records version (which sells for thousands of dollars when one becomes available), the 1982 Elektra Records version, live recordings from the legendary Perkins Palace shows in 1982 (previewing tracks from 1983’s epic Shout At The Devil), never-before-released 5-track 1LP featuring demos from the band’s first-ever studio sessions  from March 1981, replica demo cassette, replica 7” single, 100-page photo book, replica poster and more.
