Mott The Hoople

The Winkies were probably six months late in cutting and releasing their debut album – six months, and one set of sessions. The news, earlier in 1974, that they were in the studio with Brian Eno was greeted with wild enthusiasm and anticipation; the collapse of those sessions, and Eno's replacement with Guy Stevens, somewhat less so. Far from the maverick icon which his posthumous reputation canonizes, Stevens' mid-1970s reputation owed more to his unreliability than his knob-twiddling skills, and it was no surprise whatsoever when The Winkies finally arrived, bearing more in common with the pre-fame Mott the Hoople (of course, Stevens' last major project) than the glorious glam pub hybrid which the band had hitherto nurtured.

Rock & roll singer, Ian Hunter, originally released WELCOME TO THE CLUB in 1980. The album contains 22 songs recorded in live performances by the singer.This 1980 release is a live recording from former Mott the Hoople frontman Ian Hunter's 1979 tour supporting his classic YOU'RE NEVER ALONE WITH A SCHIZOPHRENIC.

Ian Hunter made his name as the striking wirey-haired vocalist with Mott The Hoople in the 70s, scoring a huge hit with the David Bowie-penned "All The Young Dudes," and releasing the classic "Mott" album. After the band split Ian struck up a formidable musical partnership with ex-Spiders From Mars guitarist Mick Ronson, and toured together as the Hunter-Ronson Band. This live recording features many popular tunes from all his guises, including "Once Bitten Twice Shy," "Twisted Steel," "Rollerball," and of course the ubiquitous "All The Young Dudes."

Hackensack - Up the Hardway, title track from their debut (and only official album for Polydor) album, released in 1974. Hackensack existed between 1968 and 1974 and released the abovementioned album and one single. They were formed by vocalist Nicky Moore, one of England's best frontmen. Their stage act was reminiscent of The Who and they built up a good reputation as a hard working and hard rocking blues/rock quartet. Their only album release is quite collectible today, and had a good mix of solid rockers as well as the odd tasteful blues track. Unfortunately its failure to do much led to the demise of the band in 1974. Moore subsequently joined Tiger, Samson and Mammoth, with drummer Simon Fox moving on to Be Bop Deluxe and guitarist Ray Smith (a.k.a. Ray Major ) moving on to The British Lions, an offshoot of Mott the Hoople.
