Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson “Sons & Lovers” 1989 MOTT THE HOOPLE split up in 1974 yet their musical influence lives on both in the legacy of the 7 studio albums they released in the brief period from 1969 to 1974 and the literally dozens of musicians around the world who cite the band as one of their major musical influences. This 2CD set released with the bands full co-operation and participation is the ultimate MTH release with two MTH tracks from 1969 and 1970 included which have never before been released. Add to that Mick Ralphs original demo of “Can’t Get Enough” which he wrote whilst a member of MTH, Joe Elliott (Def Leppard), Bad Company, Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson historical tracks mixed with brand new tracks from Overend Watts, Verden Allen, Dale Griffin and Ariel Bender Band as well as some band related gems from the early 60’s (some never before released) and you have a package that every MTH fan will wish to buy. Also included are live versions from 1970 to 1974 of a number of MTH “hits” MUSICIANS IAN HUNTER, MICK RALPHS, DALE GRIFFIN, VERDEN ALLEN, OVEREND WATTS, MORGAN FISHER, ARIEL BENDER
