MOTT THE HOOPLE - ALL THE YOUNG DUDES Yellow Vinyl LP

Expected: 10/9/26

The five original members of Mott The Hoople are Verden Allen, Dale Griffin, Ian Hunter, Mick Ralphs and Pete Overend Watts. Guy Stevens at Island Records took a Hereford band called Silence under his wing in 1969, and the group was completed when Ian Hunter auditioned for a spot as the singer and pianist. Mott The Hoople formed in 1969, signing to Island Records and releasing four albums with the label. The group switched to CBS Records in 1972 with the release of the All The Young Dudes album.

Mott The Hoople's All The Young Dudes (1972) was an influential record when it came out, and continues to impress listeners to this day. Coproduced by David Bowie, the album contains a balanced selection of well written songs by Ian Hunter and the boys. The band is on a roll, and having Bowie on board to colour in the songs with his distinctive style makes this an essential record for '70s Rock fans all over the globe.
