Mott the Hoople
Designer: Andy Murray
Mott the Hoople
Mar 2, 1973
Size: 44.7cm x 31.8cm
Original print: 2-colour screen print.
NFS
Reproduction: 4-colour digital print.
Unframed £25.00
Edition: 20
After four albums on Island Records, Mott the Hoople were on the verge of breaking up before being saved by the production and songwriting of David Bowie. Bowie, a longtime fan, first offered them Suffragette City, but Mott preferred the classic All The Young Dudes, an enduring hit in August 1972. Listen out for Bowie himself on the chorus.
This firmly established Mott, whose lead singer Ian Hunter became a hit writer himself, with compositions such as All The Way From Memphis and Roll Away The Stone, although those were to follow later in 1973, after their Poly appearance.
In 1974 lead guitarist Mick Ralphs quit Mott to form Bad Company with Free singer Paul Rodgers, and went on to huge success, particularly in the US, starting with Can’t Get Enough. Ian Hunter went solo in 1975, and moved to the US, from where he maintains a touring and recording career, which started with the Top 20 Once Bitten, Twice Shy.
Unframed reproduction £25 plus PP £6
