Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister is urging fans not to buy a new box set priced at more than $600.

Per Lemmy: "Unfortunately greed once again rears its yapping head, I would advise against it even for the most rabid completists!" According to Kilmister "Motörhead have no control over what's done with these early songs, and don't want fans to think that the band is involved in putting out such a costly box set," the band said, washing its hands of the matter".

The collection in question, The Complete Early Years Box Set, includes all eight of the band's early records, as well as handful of singles and other rarities, such as posters and a photo book.
