"Ace of Spades (live)" is a 1988 7" vinyl release of the song by the heavy metal band Motörhead. The single has no picture cover, it was issued (and withdrawn) in a plain white paper cover.
All three songs on the single appeared on the band's No Sleep At All live album, which was recorded at the Giants of Rock Festival in Hämeenlinna, Finland on July 2, 1988.
The band had wanted "Traitor" as the A-side, but "Ace of Spades" was chosen instead, when the band noticed the change, they refused to allow the single to be distributed to the shops. So despite the popularity the song had achieved, this single was not as successful as the original version, which reached #15 in the UK Singles Charts in 1980, as it became only available at gigs and through the Motörheadbangers fan club.[1]
