Music reviews of Old Records Never Die: Mott the Hoople / Ian Hunte

Music Review: Missing too many concert favorites to warrant buying this collection
Rating: 2 Stars

I echo the previous review and suggest you save your money on this Ian Hunter collection. For me, it is missing too many of the older, more popular tracks that are included at just about all his live shows as well as the stronger tracks from his last couple of releases.

The two biggest exceptions that warranted my 2-star review are:
1) Not sure how several crowd pleasing tracks that find their way into just about every concert, namely "Michael Picasso"(a tribute to his late collaborator, Mick Ronson), "23A Swan Hill"(a rockin' autobiographical number), and "All of the Good Ones are taken"(Hunter even joked during the 2007 concert I attended this was the standout number from his less-than-exciting works of the 80's) were left off.

2) Am questioning who decided the somewhat average opening tracks from his last two albums were the best representation of those works. I imagine fans of 2002's "Rant" and 2007's "SHrunken Heads" might be asking the same question.

Won't say this is a bad compilation but I feel it falls far short of being a "Best of" also. I would say if you can get this CD at the current used price of $11.50, then that might be worth it. But I do not agree shelling out [...] for a new one is a good deal, fan or a soon-to-be-fan. If you are new to Mott/HUnter, for about the same money, I suggest you start with either a Hoople greatest hits or one of the works from Mott's "peak" period, either "All the Young Dudes" or "Mott," and then perhaps compliment that with what some call his solo masterpiece, "You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic." At that point, you will either love the guy or forget about him.

Description of Old Records Never Die: Mott the Hoople / Ian Hunte

The first 2-CD set to cover the entire career of glam-rock, proto-punk, and hard-rock pioneer Ian Hunter, from his earliest days with Mott the Hoople to his 2007 album Shrunken Heads, touching on many highlights in between. Contains detailed liner notes by music journalist Ben Edmonds.

Disc 1: Mott The Hoople. Heralded by Rolling Stone as "the best band of the early '70s," Mott The Hoople were critic's darlings until David Bowie stepped in and gave them their biggest hit, the all-time classic "All the Young Dudes," turning them into glam superstars in the U.K. and an underground sensation on the U.S. This package contains their best Atlantic and Columbia recordings.

Disc 2: Ian Hunter. Singer Ian Hunter went solo in 1975, starting a long career featuring contributions from punk rockers and classic rockers alike. Producer Mick Ronson and members of Foreigner, Frank Zappa's band, Queen, Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, The Clash, and The Sex Pistols all appear on this collection of his best solo material from his Columbia, Chrysalis, Mercury, Citadel and Yep Roc releases.
