“What’s Words Worth?” is a live album (without overdubs, as reported on the back-cover) recorded at The Roundhouse, 18th February 1978 at a benefit organized by Wilko Johnson to raise money to preserve some William Wordsworth manuscripts. The Rolling Stones mobile recorded the Motorhead’s set, but for contractual reasons they were billed as Iron Fist & the Hordes From Hell.
