Origins [ edit ]

Complemented by singer Stan Tippens, the band records in 1969 demos at Rockfield Studios in Wales. After an accident Tippens was not able to stay with the band. The remaining band members signed a contract withIsland Records and moved to London to be with producer Guy Stevens cooperate.

Stevens changed the band name to "Mott the Hoople," the book of the same title by Willard Manus . The band found in Ian Hunter a new singer and Tippens remained involved with the band as a tour manager. In 1969, the band released its debut album, Mott the Hoople from that had a great success in cult circles.

Continued Albums Mad Shadows (1970) Wildlife (1971) and Brain Capers (1971) hit in both the commercial and the alternative circuit, not really, and the band was about to the bucket to give.

[Years success edit ]
David Bowie was from the beginning a fan of the band and was told that the band wanted to quit. He persuaded to go through the hoop and offered the song Suffragette City, from the upcoming album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars to. The band refused this number and then wrote Bowie All The Young Dudes for the band. The single and the album produced by Bowie with the same name, was released in the summer of 1972 and became a huge commercial success in the UK. After recording this album Allen stepped out of the band.

The next album was Mott and is to date the best selling album of the band in the United States. In Britain the album yielded two hits, Honaloochie Boogie and All the Way from Memphis . On both songs played Andy Mackay of Roxy Music saxophone.
