OK. I haven't listened to the American Beat version yet - it just came in the mail 10 minutes ago, but it's interesting that the CD cover DOES list the Ian Hunter Band members, but there's no liner notes whatsoever in the single gatefold-like CD insert - just song titles and songwriters. This seems to be the exact opposite of the Import (UK version), which people say has liner notes by Ian Hunter but no mention at all of who was playing with Hunter that night during recording.
Also, the American Beat version (U.S.) shows pics of Hunter's band on the back of the CD insert, with Mick Ronson apparently cropped out of the frame (he is seen standing next to Hunter onstage.) Odd, being that this was a Hunter-Ronson release, and Ronson's such wonderful contribution and importance to Hunter's music in the 1970s. They should have featured a shot of Ronson in the booklet (he is seen on the back of the CD jewel case with Hunter, in a small, blue photo.) Oh well, at least the CD is finally here in print in the States.
(The Mott reissues last year are good, especially "Mott," despite a horn goof near the beginning of "All the Way From Memphis." Also pick up the double, 30th anniversary import of "Mott the Hoople Live." It smokes most bands out of the water.
