The SECOND Mott The Hoople album from 1970 is great listening from start to finish, a real grower that gets better with each spin. This is before the band turned on into David Bowie-inspired/glam rock, we would call this mainly an album of excellent early, memorable melody laden electric-rock . One of the all-time MOTT favorites is "No Wheels to Ride." This is the original band, with keys & guitars and strong and emotive lead vocals from Ian Hunter (yes, his gravely voice does sound a bit like Bob Dylan at times). Supportive organ by Verden Allen, a great wailing guitar by Mick Ralphs (also provides vocals) and bass by Overend Watts, and Dale "Buffin" Griffin's drums. All songs by Hunter or Ralphs. (Ralphs moved on to Bad Company around 1974, bringing Mott the Hoople's song "Ready for Love" with him). If you're into early electric rock, don't know why you wouldn't like this album. It's very energetic, a little noisy, and smooth with catchy hooks."Thunderbuck Ram" is a deadly opener. The power-ballad "No Wheels To Ride" will, in time, outlive anything Meatloaf (or Jim Steinman) ever did. The dynamics on the whole album is incredible, on record, that is. You have to listen to the vinyl for the full impact. The mix is warm; the bass is mixed very high, even by '70's standards.

CONDITION: The cover: Very thick gatefold cover is dark and prone to heavy wear, this earfirst printing pressing has only a 'touch' of shelf wear (hardly anything at all), near M- so will make for a decent final collection copy ...Very solid, no split seams, no bends, no writing
The vinyl: all clean all over LOOKS extra clean and IS MINT ... both labels are clean and glossy over both sides ... both White Promo Atlantic labels are clean
A cool addition to anyone's music library!
