That's the best period Mott the Hoople - they were a proper rock band in those days. They were absolutely wild live. I still enjoyed the post dudes stuff, but they weren't the same. I could never understand why they weren't successful - they seemed to have everything.

Ahhh, that is sad news, but what a long and hugely productive life. Rest in Peace, Ma'am

New?  Please tell me where.

I've managed to get one a lot cheaper than that. There's also an 8-track!

Everyone looks at David.

For cassette fetishists:

A cassette reissue of  Karen Dalton's  In My Own Time.

It's expanded etc but at over £40 this seems rather steep.  

Yes i caught some of those.  Radio 4 ran a Miles series alongside.

Making my way  through the Mott the Hoople  boxed set  Mental Train which i purchased when it came out.

This takes us right up to the end of their early years, before All the Young Dudes.  Bonus tracks include early versions of tracks from the album of that name.

Maddy Prior.     Accompanied by a fine electric guitarist.

Her voice has aged, but not badly ' -it has more character.

Part one was songs then after the break she gave us a musical.memoir ,can extended piece which i think is new.
