MOTT THE HOOPLE were formed in June 1969 by the original line up of VERDEN ALLEN (organ), DALE GRIFFIN (BUFFIN)(drums), IAN HUNTER (vocals/piano), MICK RALPHS (guitar/vocals) and OVEREND WATTS (bass) and within months they had built up a fearsome reputation live as a ranting, raucous, raving, rioting, rip roaring and above all, real, rock "n" roll band. This 4CD BOX SET lovingly compiled by Buffin provides an important historic and compelling live historic document of their much loved but short lived career. Accompanying 48 page book written by KEITH SMITH, editor of MTH fanzine "Two Miles From Heaven." Limited edition release with only 2,000 copies being produced. Rare unseen photos being supplied from the personal archives of Verden Allen, Dale Griffin, Mick Ralphs and Overend Watts.
