Description:

Mott The Hoople: Ian Hunter, Ariel Bender, Dale Griffin, Morgan Fisher, Overend Watts.
After 1973`s MOTT, a loosely structured concept album about life in a rock & roll band, the only obvious choice for a follow-up was 1974`s THE HOOPLE, a loosely structured concept album about the overall state of rock & roll in the mid-`70s. Opening with "The Golden Age of Rock and Roll," a half-serious, half-satiric look at rock & roll`s past, the album continues with the darkly cynical "Marionette," and a pair of classics about teenage life, the sympathetic "Born Late `58" and the proto-punk "Crash Street Kids." The last of these makes obvious the Clash`s debt to Mott the Hoople (Clash guitarist Mick Jones was an enormous Mott fan, and lobbied for the band`s producer, Guy Stevens, to come out of retirement to produce their classic LONDON CALLING in 1979). THE HOOPLE is a snapshot of the mid-`70s rock & roll scene that foreshadows the impending rise of punk.
