Includes liner notes by Ben Edmonds.\n\u003cbr\u003eReleased in 1975, as Mott the Hoople was slowly disintegrating, GREATEST HITS is a slightly odd representation of the band's years at Columbia. Although the band's breakthrough hit was its 1972 version the David Bowie-penned \"All the Young Dudes,\" no other songs from that glam-influenced album, the band's biggest seller, are found here. Instead, the 10 tracks focus on the follow-ups, dryly cynical bar-band rock cuts dominated by the piano-organ interplay of Ian Hunter and Verdun Allen (later replaced by Morgan Fisher), as well as Hunter's sneering vocals and caustic lyrics. \"The Ballad of Mott the Hoople\" is a clear highlight, as is the oddly somber \"Hymn for the Dudes\" and the hard-rocking \"Honaloochie Boogie.\" Casual fans looking for \"Young Dudes\"-like glam rock will be disappointed, but this is probably a purer picture of the band.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 2008-03-01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mott The Hoople","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41675817353275,"sku":"EVP-886972431826","price":11.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0375\/2873\/1707\/files\/mott-the-hoople-greatest-hits-bonus-tracks-remastered_pvMhr.jpg?v=1776119925","url":"https:\/\/record-stop.com\/products\/mott-the-hoople-mott-the-hoople-greatest-hits-cd","provider":"Record Stop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
