I'm away for a few days... so a few posts early doors,,,Mott the Hoople are mostly remembered as a singles band, and the albums that get remembered are mostly the two that they took with them to stardom.

Many will remember the singles:

Two album tracks make the point:
As a bonus, a lovely early Mott song:
