]]> Mott the Hoople “All the Young Dudes” released 50 years ago today, September 8th, 1972. Their 5th studio LP, All the Young Dudes made Mott glam rock superstars. The record was produced and arranged by David Bowie; he also sang lead vocals on “Soft Ground” and most famously wrote the title track “All the Young Dudes.” That single, released a couple of months before the album, hit #3 in the UK and made a respectable showing the US, going to #37; it’s been described as the glam rock “ultimate ’70s glittered” anthem. Other notable contributors to All the Young Dudes also include Mick Ronson, who played strings and brass plus arranged “Sea Diver” and rock photographer Mick Rock who designed the LP cover. Besides the title track, my favorite song is Mott’s cover of the Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Jane” – it was released as a single in the North American market and parts of Europe but not the UK. I also like “One of the Boys,” another 70’s anthemic track, which was originally the b-side to “All the Young Dudes” and then released as a single in North America.

]]> Mott The Hoople “All The Young Dudes” released on this date, September 8th, 1972. David Bowie produced the album and also wrote the title track, a giant hit that reached #3 in the UK and #37 in the US, that has been described as the “ultimate ‘70s glitterkid anthem.” Bowie’s glam influence can be heard all over the album, from his suggestion of including the cover of Velvet Underground’s “Sweet Jane” to the saxophone on the swaggering “Sucker” (a song Allmusic describes as “less of a song, more a statement of vile intent, the confessions of your friendly neighborhood sadist”). “One of the Boys” is peacock-rock posturing at its best – it reached #96 in the US (and is weirdly introduced by the sound of an old rotary phone dialing – well, it would have just been “a phone” in ‘72) and “Ready For Love/After Lights” is epic arena-worthy glam rock, which was given new life on Mott The Hoople’s guitarist/vocalist Mick Ralph’s band Bad Company’s debut album.
