Produced By David Bowie, All The Young Dudes, Mott’s 5th studio album, remains a special & vital record. Released in the UK on 8th September 1972, the title track (penned by David Bowie) became their highest charting hit single. Also including a spritely, ‘definitive’ cover of Lou Reed’s classic ‘Sweet Jane’, the inventive & suggestive ‘Momma’s Little Jewel’, the Stones-styled ‘Jerkin’ Crocus’ & Mick Ralphs’ heartfelt ‘Ready For Love’, the album has been termed “the ultimate document of an era.” Over the years, Mott the Hoople has been cited as an inspiration by Queen, The Clash, Kiss, Primal Scream, Mötley Crüe, Cheap Trick & Def Leppard, whose frontman Joe Elliott remains a devoted fan. Linked to the Ziggy Stardust story, Mott’s rendition of ‘All The Young Dudes’ remains the definitive version of David’s masterpiece. The album proved inspirational & is still a record that excites & resonates decades later.
