Mott The Hoople, a UK band that not only provided a big hit with “All The Young Dudes” from their fifth album, then gave us two more gems before calling it a day, gave Glam a chapter, But Mick Ralphs left after the “Mott” album to form Bad Company and frontman Ian Hunter began a successful solo career that is still vibrant decades later. But overall, Mott The Hoople left behind an influential legacy.
On December 8th, the great minds at Madfish Music will assist Mott The Hoople in celebrating their 50th Anniversary of their most iconic album, “All The Young Dudes“.
Originally released in 1972, this album was the springboard for a band ready to call it quits until David Bowie stepped in to help them remain grounded.
A 140g-weight 2LP, 2CD, 7″ single slip-cased Box will supply the original album remastered as well as providing a handful of bonus tracks that include remixes, outtakes, edits, and single edits. A richly designed 72-page hardbound book will join the box, as will 3 art prints, 2 posters, a “Sea Diver” membership card replica, and a numbered certificate to authenticate the box. The 7″ vinyl single included in the box will be of the ” ‘Unlocked Car’ version of “All The Young Dudes”, backed with the UK B-side single of “One Of The Boys”.
Mott The Hoople’s David Bowie produced gem from 1972 given a remastered 50th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set treatment (with bonus tracks).
