Description
You are bidding on what I understand is a Very Rare Acetate? record album by
IAN HUNTER (Mott The Hoople fame)
From what the internet says, it is an acetate of the “ALL AMERICAN ALIEN BOY” album from 1976.
Please see photos as songs are misspelled and re-titled on the label. The label includes the date, March 11, 1976, but no album number as it was before the album was actually pressed.
There are several typos on the labels – see below
Songs are:
· TO RULE BRITTANIA FROM THE UNION JACK
· ALL AMERICAN ALIAN BOY (misspelling here)
· IRENE WILDE
· RESTLESS YOUHH (misspelling here)
-
RAPE - (HAS SINGIN' IN THE RAIN (Gene Kelly) AS THE INTRODUCTION)
WEARY ANGER (later changed to “You Nearly Did Me In”)
· APATHY ‘83
· GOD (Take 1)
Quite a rare items these days.
CONDITION:
It has a minor scuff here and there, but plays nicely. First 15 seconds on each side have tic sounds, and then goes away. The labels are decent on both sides, no writing or stickers or splitting. It plays a nice VG+. Comes in a plain white cover, which is G. (please see photos). Was stored in a basement for many years with other records.
About Ian Hunter:
Ian Hunter Patterson (born 3 June 1939), known as Ian Hunter, is a British singer-songwriter and musician who is best known as the lead singer of the English rock band Mott the Hoople, from its inception in 1969 to its dissolution in 1974, and at the time of its 2009 and 2013 reunions. Hunter was a musician and songwriter before joining Mott the Hoople, and continued in this vein after he left the band. He embarked on a solo career despite ill health and disillusionment with commercial success, and often worked in collaboration with Mick Ronson, David Bowie's sideman and arranger from the Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars period.
Mott the Hoople achieved a certain level of commercial success, and attracted a small but devoted fan base. As a solo artist, Hunter charted with lesser-known but more wide-ranging works outside the rock mainstream. His best-known solo records are "Once Bitten, Twice Shy", later covered by Great White, and "England Rocks" , a cover version "Cleveland Rocks" of which by The Presidents of the United States of America became the theme song for the American TV series The Drew Carey Show.
Please bid with confidence – guaranteed as advertised. Thank you.
