It was produced by Guy Stevens and released in 1969 by Island Records in the UK. Their combination of Stonesy swagger, Kinks-ian crunch, and Dylanesque cynicism is one of the great blueprints for hard rock, and its potential is apparent the moment their monumental instrumental \u003ci\u003eYou Really Got Me\u003c\/i\u003e kicks off the record. This is followed by two covers, Doug Sahm's \u003ci\u003eAt the Crossroads \u003c\/i\u003eand Sonny Bono's \u003ci\u003eLaugh at Me\u003c\/i\u003e, that demonstrate their musicality more than their depth, since all three of these songs sound like they derive from the same vantage point. Then, to cap it off, Ian Hunter turns in \u003ci\u003eBacksliding Fearlessly \u003c\/i\u003eand Mick Ralphs gives Mott their first anthem with the pile-driving \u003ci\u003eRock and Roll Queen\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMC","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50498634678603,"sku":"1073844","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/bc499c5c-62a0-4835-a0f6-9ca5f762e6b5_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727751717","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/mott-the-hoople","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
