Having come up in a time when people thought vinyl was dead, a lot of people were just willing to give me there collection, or at least let me dig through, and take a couple pieces. Usually there was one or two albums that they insisted I take because they just 'knew' I was going to love it. Such is the case with this album. Now, I dig some Mott The Hoople, but I've never been able to fully get into Ian Hunter. Mostly his music comes across as a second rate Bowie. That said, I do like the open track on this album, Letter To Brittania From Union Jack. And, the song, You Nearly Did Me In, which features the fellas from Queen singing back-up, is pretty decent. This album has a serious 70's British rock vibe.
Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.
