SCARCE ORIGINAL 1970 BRITISH COLLECTIBLE
MOTT THE HOOPLE
WILDLIFE
\ UK - pink rimmed ISLAND RECORDS -ILPS 9144

SCARCE pink rimmed ISLAND - BRITISH collectible British issue in nice gatefold sleeve. And for its second album, 1970's WILDLIFE, Mott the Hoople moved away from the tipsy, BLONDE ON BLONDE-like reels of the band's self-titled debut, into a more standard, bluesy hard-rock sound. Of course, WILDLIFE has its own unpretentious charms. The opening "Whiskey Women" is a great rocker and chugs along genially, and "Angel of Eighth Avenue" is one of Ian Hunter's trademark creepy ballads. The remainder of the album continues in the vein of these opening two tracks, with Hunter's barrelhouse keys trading licks with Mick Ralph's chunky guitar and Verdun Allen's organ as the rhythm section of Dale "Buffin" Griffin and Pete "Overend" Watts powers along.
At an early stage the album was to have been titled 'Original Mixed Up Mott'. It entered the UK album charts on the 17th April, where it stayed for two weeks, peaking at number 44. The album's inner gatefold was a live colour photo of MOTT THE HOOPLE from the Croydon show, while the front and back of the album was another colour photo of the band looking windswept and interesting in woodland up in County Durham England.Self-produced, it is the only Mott album where Mick Ralphs songs predominate. It shows his Neil Young country influences on tracks like Wrong Side Of The River and It Must Be Love. It is also the first album to demonstrate Ian Hunter's ability to write killer ballads in Angel Of Eighth Avenue and Waterlow.
The album closes with a live recording of Keep A Knockin', the sole remnant of an attempted live album. Mott are in full flow here, and by all accounts blew headliners Free off the stage that night.
