MOTT THE HOOPLE
ALL THE YOUNG DUDES (promo)
Just at the moment Mott the Hoople were calling it a day, David Bowie swooped in and convinced them to stick around. Bowie spearheaded an image makeover, urging them to glam themselves up. He gave them a surefire hit with "All the Young Dudes," had them cover his idol's "Sweet Jane," and produced All the Young Dudes, the album that was designed to make them stars.
Lo and behold, it did, which is as much a testament to Bowie's popularity as it is to his studio skill. Not to discount his assistance, since his production results in one of the most satisfying glam records and the title track is one of the all-time great rock songs.
True, they may not be as sexy as either Bowie or Bolan, but they make up for it with knowing humor, huge riffs, and terrific tunes, dressed up with style by Ziggy himself. No wonder it's not just a great Mott record -- it's one of the defining glam platters. [Stephen Thomas Erlewine – ALL MUSIC GUIDE]
This single has the lead track “All The Young Dudes” on both sides, one in mono – the other in stereo. It’s also the original "Marks & Sparks" version of the song, not the re-recorded version. Unlike it’s commercial counterpart, this is on VINYL instead of the noisy styrene that the public was offered. The rarely seen picture sleeve is a gem with the story of their Bowie rescue offered up in detail on the reverse.
