2007 archive release featuring a previously unreleased live performance from Ian Hunter and his Mottley crew. On the 13th September 1970 the fist ever attempt was made to capture Mott's feral stage act on tape at The Fairfield Halls, Croydon, England and for over 30 years the tapes of the gig were confined to the tape vaults of bassist Overend Watts. To the legions of MTH fans around the world, these recordings are the 'Holy Grail' of unheard live MTH tracks. Recorded on The Who's then state-of-the-art portable eight track machine, they have long become legendary not just for recording the night the band blew the headline act Free off stage but also for the way the band engaged with the crowd, cajoling them and challenging them. Apathy would not be tolerated: a reaction, either good or bad was demanded. The set is buffered by 5 more tracks that were recorded live on February 16th, 1971 at the Konserthuset, Stockholm, Sweden.

1. Ohio
2. No Wheels To Ride
3. Rock 'N' Roll Queen
4. Thunderbuck Ram
5. When My Mind Is Gone
6. Keep 'A' Knockin'
7. You Really Got Me
8. Long Red - (Bonus Track)
9. Original, The - (Bonus Track)
10. Walking With A Mountain - (Bonus Track)
11. Laught At Me - (Bonus Track)
12. Thunderbuck Ram - (Bonus Track)

Cool. I'm still trying to get the $'s for the Fillmore live set from a few months back........

Angel Air has the remasters to the first 4-5 Motts, which they did a great job on. However, they have re-issued some very poor sounding live tapes as well.

This is from Mott's early heavy period: when they were almost a metallic Dylan hybrid.

Those 5 Stockholm tracks have been on several live collections. They keep rolling them out to fill out these bad sounding live CDs.

I read on Amazon that the Fillmore has bad sound. The only one in the series I've heard is Rock & Roll Circus; the sound was awful on that.
