Ian Hunter - Short Back N' Sides (1981) [Complete LP]

One Of Our Deleted Albums Series

Ian Hunter was the front man and primary songwriter in Mott The Hoople before embarking on a successful solo career in 1975.

He released several albums between 1975-1979 before releasing Short Back N' Sides on Chrysalis Records, catalogue number CHR 1326, in 1981.

Short Back N' Sides is a good album but it didn't get the commercial success that Ian Hunter's earlier solo albums achived and was deleted from the Chrysalis Records catalogue in the late 1980's.

Tracks from this album are available on Ian Hunter compilation albums but, as far as I am aware, this album is not currently available.

The audio here was taken from a 1980's Canadian pressing of the original Chysalis Records vinyl LP which I found on sale in a deleted albums bin in the 1980's.
