Campbell Devine has successfully collaborated with Ian Hunter and other Mott members to create a biography devoid of borrowed information and recycled press clippings but instead full of new, sensational, and humorous inside stories; controversial quotes; and an array of previously unpublished views from the band. With firsthand input from members Hunter, Griffin, Watts, Allen, and Ralphs, this definitive tome gives the complete insight into the legend of Mott The Hoople. Queen's Brian May and Def Leppard's Joe Elliott have provided their own foreword to pay a long and overdue tribute to a band who were simply one of rock's most treasured. By far the most scrupulously researched written work ever produced on Mott The Hoople, this book will be welcomed by both the committed and casual rock reader, the aging rockers and certainly all the young dudes.
