Ian Hunter Reissues: A Celebration of Classic Albums on Vinyl and CD

For fans of Ian Hunter, the legendary frontman of Mott The Hoople, this is an exciting time as two of his seminal solo albums are getting the deluxe reissue treatment. Both Short Back n’ Sides and You’re Never Alone With A Schizophrenic have been remastered and are now available in new editions, complete with archival rarities and special packaging.

Short Back n’ Sides – Gatefold 2LP Yellow Vinyl
Short Back n’ Sides marked a bold new chapter for Ian Hunter as he entered the 1980s. This fifth solo album saw him energized by the punk rock movement and surrounded by an impressive array of guest musicians, including Mick Jones and Topper Headon of The Clash, as well as the multi-talented Todd Rundgren. Longtime collaborator Mick Ronson was once again by his side, co-producing the album alongside Jones.

This reissue of Short Back n’ Sides has been newly remastered and pressed on vibrant yellow vinyl, housed in a striking gatefold sleeve that includes lyrics and additional artwork. The expanded edition, features twelve archival rarities that give further insight into the creative process behind this dynamic album.

Short Back n’ Sides – 2CD Digi-Sleeve Edition
For those who prefer the clarity and convenience of CD, Short Back n’ Sides is also available as a 2CD edition. This version comes in a sleek digi-sleeve, accompanied by an 8-page booklet filled with lyrics and notes on the album. The two discs include the newly remastered album along with twelve bonus tracks.

You’re Never Alone With A Schizophrenic – LP
Originally released in 1979, You’re Never Alone With A Schizophrenic stands as one of Ian Hunter’s most celebrated solo works. The album features members of Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band, including Max Weinberg and Roy Bittan, as well as a special guest appearance from John Cale. Among its tracks are some of Hunter’s most enduring songs, such as the anthemic “Cleveland Rocks” and the hit single “Just Another Night.”

This reissue has been newly remastered and pressed on green vinyl, packaged in a gatefold sleeve that highlights the album’s original artwork and lyrics. The expanded edition includes seven archival rarities, making their vinyl debut, which adds another layer of depth to this already monumental album. Co-produced with Mick Ronson, this reissue brings out the full richness and power of one of Hunter’s finest achievements.
