MOTT THE HOOPLE'S 'ALL THE YOUNG DUDES' IS RELEASED ON 8TH DECEMBER 2023 BY MADFISH AS AN ORANGE VINYL 2LP IN GATEFOLD SLEEVE -
LP1 REMASTERED ALBUM / LP2 RARE MIXES & SESSION TRACKS
"Mott the Hoople was the greatest rock'n'roll band ever." JOE ELLIOTT (DEF LEPPARD)
"Raw, fun, angry, glorious & jagged... Mott was everything." BRIAN MAY (QUEEN)
"If it hadn't been for Mott, there would be no us." MICK JONES (THE CLASH)
Linked to the Ziggy Stardust story, Mott's rendition of 'All The Young Dudes' remains the definitive version of David's masterpiece. The album proved inspirational & is still a record that excites & resonates decades later.
Over the years, Mott The Hoople has been cited as an inspiration by Queen, The Clash, Kiss, Primal Scream, Motley Crue, Cheap Trick & Def Leppard, whose frontman Joe Elliott remains a devoted fan.
Mott The Hoople occupies a unique place in the annals of international rock music. Oozing style, attitude & unpredictability, the band recorded a peerless legacy of songs combining homage, honesty & killer hooks. As Mott's focal point, lead singer Ian Hunter was also one of the toughest & most inventive writers of the early Seventies.
'All The Young Dudes', Mott's 5th studio album, remains a special & vital record. Released in the UK on 8th September 1972, the title track (penned by David Bowie) became their highest charting hit single. Also including a spritely, 'definitive' cover of Lou Reed's classic 'Sweet Jane', the inventive & suggestive 'Momma's Little Jewel', the Stones-styled 'Jerkin' Crocus' & Mick Ralphs' heartfelt 'Ready For Love', the album has been termed "the ultimate document of an era."
