Mott The Hoople: "Mott The Hoople" Album (1969)

Mott The Hoople’s Mott The Hoople was released as an LP album in the UK by Island Records (catalog number ILPS 9108) on November 22, 1969, marking their debut album.

The album's cover is a colorized reproduction of M. C. Escher's lithograph "Reptiles."

Initial copies of the UK album were wrongly pressed with the song "The Road to Birmingham," (the B-side of their debut single in the UK) at the end of side one, with "Backsliding Fearlessly" replacing "Rock and Roll Queen" at the start of side two.
