Description

Mott the Hoople "All the Young Dudes" original 1972 vinyl LP with original inner sleeve CBS 65184. Condition is Used. Dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd Class.  Both the vinyl and the sleeve are in very good condition.  The LP come from my husband's teenage years when he actually played his records rather than just taped them hence the cover has some storage creases, the 'inner sleeve' has a little tear and side 1 has a light surface scratch - see pics.

All the Young Dudes is the fifth studio album by Mott the Hoople, released in 1972. It was their initial album for the CBS Records label (Columbia Records in North America), after three years with Island Records in the UK and Atlantic Records in North America.

All the Young Dudes was a turning point for the then-struggling British band. Mott the Hoople were about to break up when David Bowie stepped in and gave them the song "All the Young Dudes". Bowie also produced the album, which took Mott "from potential has-beens to avatars of the glam rock movement". 

The title track, "All the Young Dudes", was released as a single prior to the album and charted worldwide, becoming the "ultimate '70s glitterkid anthem".  "One of the Boys", originally the B-side of "All the Young Dudes", was also released in North America and Continental Europe.

In 2003, the album was ranked number 491 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2012, the album listed at No. 484 on a revised list by the magazine.

"Ready for Love" was reworked by Mick Ralphs's subsequent band Bad Company on their self-titled debut.
