ちなみに。私が個人的にMott〜Ianのファンになったキッカケは、Mck Ronsonファンだったからです。
そんなわけで、Ianのアルバムのベスト3は、もちろん『Ian Hunter』『You're never alone with a Schizopherenic』とどめは『Welcom to the Club』です。『YUI ORTA』も好きですけどね〜。
そして、アルバム自体(『All American Alien Boys』)はそこまで好きではないけど“Irene Wilde”は名曲中の名曲!と思っています。

Mott The Hoople - Under Review. DVD, £9.50 (Chrome Dreams - SIDVD519)
90-minute documentary film charting the career and music of one of Rock music’s most influential yet all too often neglected bands. Always a highly respected group, this DVD features insight and critique from Clash guitarist and massive fan Mick Jones, Hoople producers/engineers Tony Platt and Mick Glossop, a selection of journalists from the period and even the bands keyboardist Morgan Fischer. Also found here is obscure footage, live and studio versions of Hoople hits, rare interviews, obscure photographs and never previously seen tour film from Fischer's private collection. His involvement in the project makes this DVD extra special for all fans of the band, there is more exclusive achive footage included as an extra. Due In: 19/03/2007
OK, officially, Verden let slip in an interview with me that all 5 original members of MTH have agreed to get back together next year to celebrate their 40th anniversary. 2 gigs have already been lined up in London (Hammersmith) with more to follow. there's also a possibility of an album.
if the radio internet connection had not broken down, you would have heard all of this last Thursday. obviously there is more detail in a 30 minute interview which will be available for you to listen to very soon.
