Back In Stock

mott the hopple's best album from 1973 has finally been sonically upgraded making this the best sounding edition of their best album. produced by the band themselves bruce dickinson has gone back to the original tapes, spiffed them up and picked out just about every sonic detail you can imagine. melodic, wistful and rocking, 'mott' remains the sole album where this star-struck band put it all together. it oozes disillusionment, testament to their one step forward, two steps back existence as they continually battled indifference and inter-band conflicts. true to form, no sooner had they recorded their breakthrough than guitarist mick ralphs left to form bad company, leaving a hole in the band that would never adequately be filled. 'mott's four bonus tracks are uniformly strong and include the demo of 'honaloochie boogie', the b side 'rose', 'verdon allen's nightmare' and a live version of 'drivin sister' recorded at the hammersmith odeon.
