The remastered album will also be made available as a limited edition double orange vinyl LP.
Originally released in the UK on the 8th of September 1972, the title track (penned by David Bowie) became their highest-charting hit single, the record also included the definitive cover of Lou Reed’s ‘Sweet Jane’ alongside the inventive and suggestive ‘Momma’s Little Jewel’, the Stones-styled ‘Jerkin Crocus’ and Mick Ralphs’ heartfelt ‘Ready For Love’.
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, Mö tley Crüe and Def Leppard’s whose frontman Joe Elliott still to this day remains a devoted fan.
The band oozes attitude and unpredictability and have 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 bands 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 deainitive version of Bowie’s masterpiece.
It’s a record that proved to be inspirational and still excites and resonates decades later. All The Young Dudes will be released on December 8th 2023 on Madaish as a high quality, limited edition 5-disc deluxe box set that includes rare tracks and previously unreleased song versions.
