Mott The Hoople and Ian Hunter

British Lions track finder

Introduction

This is a complete cross-reference of every track on every British Lions album. I list the original album the track was issued on, together with all compilations and various live versions. Where more than one live version exists, this is noted. Where different (studio) mixes exist, this is noted too.

At the time of writing (summer 2017) all albums listed are currently available. Where a track is only available on CD (not the original vinyl) this is noted. For assessments on sound quality, please see the individual album reviews.

I have not included unofficial recordings in this list - official releases only!

Incidentally, if you are looking for Steve Harris' solo project 'British Lion' (singular) then you've come to the wrong place. You'll need to keep looking!
