These days all record companies seem to be re-issuing the complete back catalogues of some bands, take for instance ACDC, Iron Maiden, etc.  Is it necessary ?  I wouldn’t know.  The older fans probably already have the original recording.  So to entice the older fans to buy these reissues, they either add a few extra tracks, remix the bunch or add some other stuff,  or like in this case they make it a deluxe edition, meaning they add a second CD with bonus tracks.
I must admit that even after almost 30 years, the original album still sounds as good as ever.  Not being the greatest Motörhead fan on earth, the additional bonus tracks add nothing substantial as far as I’m concerned.  The die hard fans, who absolutely want to own everything they ever brought out however, migth be tempted to buy this.

A must buy for people who like Motörhead but have nothing on CD of LP, an option for the rest...
