Thisis NOT a "recycled" image from our previous auction. What you see is what you'll get. GUARANTEED!) Just at the moment Mott theHoople were calling it a day, David Bowie swooped in and convinced them tostick around. Bowie spearheaded an image makeover, urging them to glamthemselves up. He gave them a surefire hit with "All the YoungDudes, " had them cover his idol's "Sweet Jane, " and produced Allthe Young Dudes, the album that was designed to make them stars. Lo and behold, it did, which is as much a testament to Bowie's popularity as it is to hisstudio skill. Not to discount his assistance, since his production results inone of the most satisfying glam records and the title track is one of theall-time great rock songs, but the album wouldn't have worked if Mott hadn'talready found its voice on Brain Capers. True, Dudes isn't nearly as wild asits predecessor, but the band's swagger is unmistakable underneath the flairand Ian Hunter remains on a songwriting roll, with "Momma's LittleJewel, " "Sucker, " and "One of the Boys" standing amonghis best. Take a close look at the credits, though -- these were all co-writtenby his bandmates, and the other highlight, "Ready for Love/AfterLights, " is penned entirely by Mick Ralphs, who would later revive thefirst section with Bad Company. The entire band was on a roll here, turning outgreat performances and writing with vigor. They may not be as sexy as eitherBowie or Bolan, but they make up for it with knowing humor, huge riffs, andterrific tunes, dressed up with style by Ziggy himself. No wonder it's not just a great Mott record -- it's one of the definingglam platters. (EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY STEPHEN THOMAS ERLEWINE, ALLMUSIC GUIDE /ALLMUSIC.COM/) ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫ · CONDITION: · THE RECORD (IMPORTANT NOTE:unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!;we grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight) (a) WE GRADE THE VINYL AS STRONG VG++, JUST ANOTCH BELOW NEAR MINT. A few light abrasions (probably just sleevescuffs inflicted in storage over the years) ARE VISIBLE, but they appearfairly insignificant relative to theoverall condition of the vinyl, and are only moderately visually distracting.For most part, the vinyl looks impeccable, without any MAJOR visual flaws orimperfections. Much of the original luster is intact, and the vinyl shines andsparkles almost like new. (b) The record is pressed on a RELATIVELY thick, inflexible vinyl. This is NOT a thin, flimsy ('dynaflex'type), vinyl, but not the thickest, most rigid vinyl, either. (c) Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!! · THE COVER COVER IS STRONG NEAR MINT, STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP The following flaws orimperfections are noted on the cover: - Cover has one corner slightly worn(nothing significant) - Cover has JUST A HINT of ring wear (nothing significant); Onthe scale from 1 to 10 (1 being the least, and 10 being the most severe), we assess the severity of ring wear as 1. - Cover has a light "wrinkle" (crease) in one of the corners.
