Mott The Hoople – All The Young Dudes (1972)

Another glam rock classic.

Written by David Bowie for Mott The Hoople (after they turned down Sufragette City …) and released on the “All the Young Dudes” LP in 1972 - produced, inevitably, by Mr Bowie.

Bowie recorded “All the Young Dudes” himself during the Aladdin Sane sessions of 1973 but his version wasn’t released until 20 years later (though a live version appears on  “David Live” from 1974).

Fantastic vocals by Ian Hunter who went on to pen the even better “Roll Away The Stone” a couple of years later.

The studio original then live in Los Angeles from 1973.
