Mott

Mott was a short lived band from Mott The Hoople, after Ian Hunter left in 1974. Mott was active between 1975/76 consisting of Overend Watts, Dale Griffin, and Morgan Fisher along with lead guitarist Ray Major (formerly of Opal Butterfly, Hackensack, and a brief stint with Andy Fraser and Frankie Miller) and front man Nigel Benjamin. This line-up released two more albums, Drive On (1975) and Shouting and Pointing (1976), both of which sold poorly. After Benjamin quit in 1976, Mott briefly replaced him with Steve Hyams, before joining forces with John Fiddler (formerly of Medicine Head), and became British Lions.

Peel is known to have played tracks from the band, but due to few available tracklistings available from the mid 70's, it is not known how often he played them.
