THE BEAST

Mötley Crüe has released a previously unreleased 1981 demo of "Nobody Knows What It's Like To Be Lonely," offering fans an early glimpse into the band's formative days in Los Angeles.

The track comes from the band's March 1981 demo sessions and will be included on an upcoming 45th-anniversary deluxe limited-edition box set celebrating Mötley Crüe's classic debut album, Too Fast For Love. The collection is due October 30.

An official video for "Nobody Knows What It's Like To Be Lonely" has also been released.

Originally self-released through Mötley Crüe's own Leathür Records label in November 1981, Too Fast For Love was initially pressed in a limited run of just 900 LPs. The band's growing reputation on the Los Angeles club scene soon attracted major-label attention, leading to a deal with Elektra Records in early 1982.

Elektra issued a remixed and remastered version of Too Fast For Love in August 1982 with a revised track listing. The album eventually went platinum and helped launch Mötley Crüe into the center of the Los Angeles hard rock and metal explosion that would dominate the charts and MTV throughout the 1980s.

The new box set will bring together both versions of the landmark debut, along with a substantial collection of previously unreleased and archival recordings.

The 1981 Leathür Records version of Too Fast For Love will be available exclusively as part of the box set, alongside the 1982 Elektra version.

Also included are two LPs documenting Mötley Crüe's 1982 performance at Perkins Palace, featuring early live versions of songs including "Looks That Kill," "Shout At The Devil" and "Knock 'Em Dead, Kid," several of which would appear on the band's 1983 classic Shout At The Devil.

The collection also contains the complete five-track March 1981 demo session, a replica 7-inch single featuring "Stick To Your Guns" and "Toast Of The Town," and a reproduction of the band's original 1981 demo cassette.

A 100-page hardcover photo book, poster and additional memorabilia round out the package.
