"Mott" was released in 1973 and is the sixth studio album by British rock band Mott the Hoople. Following the success of "All the Young Dudes" (1972), the album features the band's typical mix of glam rock, hard rock and thoughtful lyrics. With outstanding tracks such as "All the Way from Memphis", "Whizz Kid" and "I Wish I Was Your Mother", the album deals with themes such as fame, disillusionment and rock 'n' roll excesses. Frontman Ian Hunter's introspective songwriting and the band's powerful instrumentation make Mott one of their most critically acclaimed releases. The album cemented Mott the Hoople's place in rock history and influenced future generations of artists. With its mix of anthemic rockers and thoughtful ballads, Mott remains a defining album of the glam rock era and a must-have for fans of classic rock.
"Mott" is available in a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on pink vinyl.
