Mott The Hoople-Mott

Info By Wiki:

Mott is a 1973 album by British band Mott the Hoople. "All the Way from Memphis", an edited version of which was released as a single, received considerable airplay on U.S. radio and captured the band many overseas fans, as well as reaching the UK Top 10.

It was clear by the time Mott was released that Ian Hunter had become the dominant figure of the band. Aside from the lead track, the album includes introspective songs such as "Ballad of Mott The Hoople", which exposes Mott’s near break-up, and the peculiar "I Wish I Was Your Mother", featuring multi-tracked mandolin, in which Hunter sings of his wish to see his love as a child. Hard rockers are given their due with "Drivin’ Sister", "Violence" and "Honaloochie Boogie", the last-named being another UK single. A fine performance is delivered by Hunter in the almost religious "Hymn for the Dudes."

The album has featured different covers among the number of UK and U.S. releases, as well as remastered tracks on some editions. A US cover featured a photo of the four band members. In the UK the front cover featured a motif based on the bust of a Roman Emperor, and initial copies had a gatefold sleeve with the Emperor motif printed on a transparent plastic sheet. A remastered and expanded version was released by Sony's Columbia/Legacy imprint in the United States in 2006.

In 2003, the album was ranked number 366 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
