British Lions discography

When Mott were looking for a new singer in 1977, Morgan Fisher suggested John Fiddler. Morgan had played on Medicine Head's farewell tour earlier in the year and knew Fiddler was looking for work. Fiddler had already written songs for a solo album, but he accepted Mott's invitation and joined them, bringing his songs with him - and British Lions were born.

This discography details British Lions albums and singles from all over the world. I am always looking to add more worldwide pressings, so get in touch if you can help! Quick links:
