In July 1978, the band returned to the management of Douglas Smith, who secured a one-off singles deal with Gerry Bron ‘s Bronze Records . The resulting ” Louie Louie ” single (a cover version of Richard Berry and The Kingsmen standard) was issued in September peaking at number 68 on the UK Singles Chart , and the band toured the UK to promote it, recorded a BBC Radio 1 John Peel in session on 18 September (these tracks were later issued on the 2005 BBC Live & In-Session album), and appeared for the first time on BBC Television ‘s Top of the Pops on 25 October. Pub rock and early Punk rock label Chiswick Records capitalised on this new level of success by re-issuing the debut album Motörhead on white vinyl through EMI Records .
