Mott The Hoople

I just pulled out my Absolute Analogue reissue of "All The Young Dudes", and while I don't have an original for comparison. I have to say that this is one great sounding LP! If only all of the current remasters from days gone by could sound so current and revelant, I would be even happier. "Sweet Jane" from Lou Reed to Mott to Cowboy Junkies, and others, what a great song!

Martykl, glad to see someone else here who's into Alejandro Escovedo. Saw him for the "Real Animal" tour in Ft. Lauderdale and bought the vinyl at the show. He did "Young Dudes" for the encore. His new one "Street Songs of Love" just came out. I checked with Music Direct yesterday and they don't have it yet. Can't wait.

As for "All The Young Dudes," please don't forget Bowie . . . after all . . .

Bowie and Lou Reed were major influences on Escovedo.
