Good Solid Mott but nothing special.
Maybe Mott's ultimate problem is that they had a few great tracks and a lot of little better than average ones. They end up being a nine out of ten band (or four and a half stars in Amazon speak). It's a shame that they will always be best remembered for a song Bowie gave them. My favourite things on here are the slower ones - Hymn for the Dudes, Ballad of Mott (both brilliant) and the Dylanesque Wish I was your Mother. Their Rock'n'Roll stuff is pretty ordinary really. I do like the meandering outro to Cadilac but I'm not too sure why, it's nothing revolutionary. br / br /If you're looking for something to change your life or perceptions then this isn't it, but if you're looking for something to play in the car on the way to work or on the long drive to your Aunt's in Scotland then this is perfect. It's solid glam seventies nostalgia, better than pap radio, very well written songs in patches and wholly accessible if you're not familiar with the songs. Good value at this price and I will play it on sunny days like today. br /

Great great album, but little added value....
This is a classic rock album. Superb music. Just downright great. If you don't own it then there's something seriously wrong with you and you probably listen to Robbie Williams a lot! However, the nice little tempter of 'expanded edition' is a bit hollow on close inspection. And this is true for all three Sony Legacy Mott the Hoople re-releases. The extra tracks have all been previously available, either on the now lost box set or the expanded Ariel Bender-era live album. And, on that subject, where is the logic in putting live bonus tracks featuring Ariel Bender on an album that features Mick Ralphs? The same is true of the re-release of All The Young Dudes. br / br /It's always nice to be able to get hold of these same tracks a few times over, but given the number of Mott the Hoople rarities that still seem to be lurking, it's a real lost opportunity. Just like the Ian Hunter 'All American Alien Boy' recent re-release. Pandering to our cousins across the Atlantic again.... br / br /
