MOTT THE HOOPLE – ALL THE YOUNG DUDES

A desirable original UK 1972 CBS pressing of Mott The Hoople’s landmark All The Young Dudes, complete with its striking gold Shorepak sleeve and original illustrated band inner.

Produced by David Bowie, who also wrote the celebrated title track, this was the album that propelled Mott The Hoople into the forefront of the British glam-rock era and remains one of the defining records of the period.

This copy carries the important collector identifiers S 65184 A1 / S 65184 B, together with original orange CBS labels, the gold Shorepak sleeve and original illustrated group inner.

Visually, the record shows several surface marks and age-related hairlines, but retains excellent gloss and plays substantially above its visual grade, delivering EX playback throughout.

CONDITION

VINYL VISUAL: VG+

The vinyl retains an excellent deep gloss and remains in super overall condition for its age.

There are several visible surface marks together with age-related hairlines commensurate with a record of this vintage. Selected marks have deliberately been photographed in close-up so that buyers can assess them clearly.

These are fully reflected in the conservative VG+ visual grade, but the record remains glossy, attractive and highly presentable overall.

VINYL PLAYBACK: EX

Fully play tested and delivers EX playback throughout.

Playback is the real strength of this copy and materially exceeds its visual appearance.

The record plays with excellent presence, clarity and musical impact throughout, making this a particularly rewarding listening copy.

SLEEVE: VG+ TO EX

The original gold Shorepak sleeve remains highly presentable with strong colour and structure.

There is only minor age-related wear around the extremities, as visible in the photographs, with the sleeve retaining an excellent overall appearance.

ORIGINAL INNER: VG+ TO EX

The original illustrated Mott The Hoople band inner is present and remains in very attractive condition.

Only minor age-related handling wear is evident, and its presence adds meaningful completeness to this collector copy.

Overall a VG+/VG+ grade is deserved
