Too Short Arms (I Don't Care) (Remix) ‟ WHEN IAN HUNTER and Mick Ronson quit Mott The Hoople in late 1974, many thought that the band would become just another fondly remembered and well respected entry in the history of rock. Few would have gambled on the remaining band members rising up, dusting themselves down and getting back in the ring ready to fight another day. Re-tooled under the newly abbreviated moniker of Mott , the band recruited guitarist Ray Major and super talented yet unknown vocalist Nigel Benjamin, releasing ‘ Drive On ’, one of the most impressive albums of 1975. Finding support at all levels, the band reconvened for the follow up album ‘ Shouting & Pointing ’, issued in 1976, a far more panoramic record which took the original Mott The Hoople blueprint, using it to their advantage, increasing the energy level and constructing songs that utilized ambitious arrangements. Nigel Benjamin was a real find, a man seemingly without any vocal ceiling who was also a great frontman. Produced by studio veteran Eddie Krame r (Jimi Hendrix. Led Zeppelin) at the Manor Studios in Oxfordshire and overdubbed and mastered by the equally esteemed Bill Price (Sex Pistols, Guns ‘N Roses) the material is both challenging and commercially addictive. Songs such as ‘Collision Course', ‘Storm’ and ‘Hold On, You’re Crazy’ rock the house but its ‘Career (No Such Thing As Rock And Roll)’ and the title track that construct a vivid picture of the band's grandiose ambitions.” ~ Master Of Mayhem : Derek Oliver SHIPPING TO USA ONLY
