Mott The Hoople Live - Expanded Deluxe Edition |

When Mott The Hoople Live was originally released in
November 1974, little did we know that this album would be
their swansong; Mott ceased to exist six weeks after Mott
The Hoople Live hit the record racks. The original Mott The
Hoople Live has been enhanced and expanded into this
astonishing 21 song Expanded Deluxe Edition 2 CD set. 13
additional tracks have been added to the original album,
capturing two legendary concerts nearly in their entirety:
the late-1973 Hammersmith show, where the set over-ran so
long that the theater owners lowered the curtain on the
band; and a taste of the group's triumphant Broadway season
six months later, when Mott became the first rock band to
sell out a week of concerts in New York's theater district.
Mott The Hoople Live – Expanded Deluxe Edition includes
extensive and up to date liner notes by acclaimed Mott The
Hoople historian Campbell Devine, author of All The Young
Dudes – Mott the Hoople and Ian Hunter – The Biography. A
newly designed 12-page booklet includes all of the elements
of the original LP, plus vintage 1974 promo ads. In a unique
twist, each CD individually replicates the U.S. and U.K.
Columbia/CBS label designs.
In October 2009, the original lineup of Mott The Hoople will
reunite for the first time ever, performing at the current
Hammersmith venue, making this the perfect time to
reintroduce Mott The Hoople Live – Expanded Deluxe Edition
into the marketplace.
