This album sold consideably better than his first, because it got favorable press in places like Peter Stampfel's (of The Holy Modal Rounders) influential column in "Broadsides" magazine. It was re-issued in 1967 with a slightly different mix.
Lemmy, Motörhead " In a time of terrible manufactured music, (the album) "Back in the USA" was rock 'n' roll, untreated… I used to sit and listen to that album for hours: listen to it through, then put it straight back on again. It was the kind of album you could do that with, particularly the odd songs like 'Human Being Lawnmower'. It was impossible to see the structure of that song for a while. ... ... Then you'd sit and work it out… " / #446 on the "Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time", 2012 list
