OUT DECEMBER 8TH ON MADFISH MUSIC
Celebrating 50 Years of Mott the Hoople’s ‘All The Young Dudes’
Mott the Hoople are marking the golden anniversary of their iconic album ‘All The Young Dudes’ in style! Set to drop on December 8th via Madfish Music, fans can look forward to a deluxe boxset edition with freshly remastered audio. And for the vinyl enthusiasts, there’s a treat in store – a limited edition double orange vinyl LP.
Released back in September 1972, ‘All The Young Dudes’ gave us the unforgettable title track, a gift from the genius David Bowie. The album also showcased their brilliant take on Lou Reed’s ‘Sweet Jane’, the catchy ‘Momma’s Little Jewel’, the rockin’ ‘Jerkin Crocus’, and Mick Ralphs’ soulful ‘Ready For Love’.
This album isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a piece of rock history. It’s influenced a galaxy of stars, from Queen and The Clash to Mötley Crüe and Def Leppard. Joe Elliott of Def Leppard even proclaimed, “Mott the Hoople was the greatest rock’n’roll band ever.”
Mott the Hoople’s unique blend of homage, honesty, and killer hooks has cemented their place in rock’s hall of fame. Frontman Ian Hunter’s songwriting prowess, especially during the early Seventies, was unparalleled. Their rendition of ‘All The Young Dudes’ stands out as the definitive version of Bowie’s classic, a track that continues to inspire and captivate listeners even today.
This 5-disc deluxe box set, releasing on December 8th, 2023, promises rare tracks and never-before-heard versions of songs. Don’t miss out on this chance to relive the magic of Mott the Hoople’s ‘All The Young Dudes’!
