Mad Shadows

If Mott the Hoople's debut album cheerfully careened all over the place, their second, Mad Shadows, has one direction — downward into dense murk. Cutting out most of their humor and ratcheting up the volume, the group turns out seven songs that alternate between thundering rockers and sludgy introspection. This all sounds good on paper, but Mad Shadows isn't a thrilling journey into the darkside, simply because the band and producer Guy Stevens are so unfocused that it barely holds together, despite such fine moments as the rampaging "Walkin' With a Mountain" and the closing ballad "When My Mind's Gone."

Any record with songs as strong as these is worth hearing, and it's possible to find the confusion itself rather fascinating, but only if you're dedicated enough to delve into darkness with the band. Otherwise, this is primarily of interest as a transitional affair, with its best moments showcased on the excellent compilation, Backsliding Fearlessly.
 

    Other Information

All records will be sent in professional mailers with two cardboard stiffeners. The lp will be removed from the sleeve to protect it during transit. I will always obtain a certificate of posting for each parcel.

It is recommended that you use the Recorded/Special delivery (UK) or International Signed For (Rest of World) postal options to insure the item against damage or loss. I cannot take responsibility for the package once it is in the hands of the postal service using the basic 1st class or Air Mail service (uninsured).

I would prefer PayPal, if possible, from non UK bidders. For UK based bidders, PayPal would be the best option, otherwise a cheque or postal order may be acceptable. Please contact me if in doubt.

If you require any further information about the record - or would like to see any additional pictures, please get in touch?
