Notes:  Aided by the productin skill sof David Bowie, Mott comes through with a genuine classic. From their reworking of Lou Reed's anthem "Sweet Jane" thru the string of originals every song hits the target square in the middle. This recording was made as they were entering their golden period. The front cover art depicts the dudes; young, well-dressed and full of energy. The back cover gives us a more realistic view of the lads in question. A "must have" for your library.
