"Moth Poet Hotel" - a tribute to Mott The Hoople

Highslide JS Morgan Fisher was the mastermind behind the 1996 Japanese only album "Moth Poet Hotel", subtitled "a tribute to Mott The Hoople". He got some of Japan's biggest rock stars (plus Brian May of Queen) to record versions of Mott The Hoople songs. Besides playing on most songs, Morgan also wrote a new song for the project, which became the album's title track. Read on for the full story of the sessions, the artists and even Ian Hunter's own comments! More info


The fake Mott The Hoople albums

Highslide JS K-Tel released a CD called "The Best Of Mott The Hoople" in 1996 which contained re-recordings of Mott's hits by a bogus band. The cover however wrongly stated that the re-recordings were made by Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson shortly before Mick died. Two years later K-Tel were found guilty in the UK courts and fined £8000 plus £1488 costs. This hasn't stopped other companies from releasing the very same album. More info


Guide to budget cover versions albums

Highslide JS Remember the budget cover version albums from the early 70s? With titles like "Top Of The Pops", Hit Parade" and "Hot Hits", from labels like Music For Pleasure, Rediffusion and Hallmark? These LPs were aimed at young kids who, for little more than the price of a single, could get an albums worth of re-recorded hits instead. Of course, it didn't hurt sales that these albums all featured a nice ROCK AND ROLL QUEEN on the cover! More info
