Mott the Hoople’s 5th studio album remains a special and vital record. Cited as an inspiration from artists that span the world of Rock ranging from Queen, The Clash and Kiss to Primal Scream, Mötley Crü e and Def Leppard whose frontman Joe Elliott still to this day remains a devoted fan.
The band oozes attitude and unpredictability and has recorded a peerless legacy of songs that combine homage, honesty and killer hooks. Mott the Hoople occupy a unique place in the annals of international Rock music.
Ian Hunter, the band’s lead singer has been cited as one of the most inventive writers of the early Seventies, linked to the Ziggy Stardust story, Mott’s rendition of ‘All The Young Dues’ remains the definitive version of Bowie’s masterpiece. It’s a record that proved inspirational and still excites and resonates decades later.
All The Young Dudes will be released on December 8th 2023 on Madfish as a high-quality, limited edition 5-disc deluxe box set that includes rare tracks and previously unreleased song versions.
