Mud's "Tiger Feet" remained number one in UK Singles Chart as published Disc, February 16, 1974 Mud released "Tiger Feet" in January 1974 as a single, later included on their 1975 album Mud Rock . The British glam rock band, fronted by Les Gray, delivered a high-energy, foot-stomping track written by hitmakers Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman. With its catchy guitar riffs, driving beat, and Gray’s playful vocals, the song epitomized the glam rock era’s exuberant sound. Produced by Chinn and Chapman, it was recorded at Audio International Studios in London, featuring a raw, danceable vibe that became a staple of ‘70s UK pop. "Tiger Feet" hit #1 on the UK Singles Chart for four weeks, selling over 700,000 copies and becoming the UK’s best-selling single of 1974. It also reached #1 in Ireland and charted across Europe but didn’t break through in the US. Its infectious energy and simple, singalong lyrics made it a glam rock classic, often cited as Mud’s signature song.

Marc Bolan's One-Page in Music Star, January 1, 1974.

Faces’ boozy empire crumbles – the wildest glam gang says goodbye! Faces’ A Sad Send-Off , a four-page feature in Circus Raves Magazine, January 1, 1974. More Faces farewell chaos added weekly. Their last LP together is called 'Overtures And Beginnings', but because it provides a last look at a famous band at the peak of their powers some say the disc should be called 'Undertures And Endings'. Sometimes even talent and hard works together aren't enough to guarantee success for a rock band. Sometimes the key to success is sheer determination and a stiff upper lip when the chips are down. In 1967, when The Small Faces were finally reaching a plateau of pop stardom, founder Steve Marriott walk- ed out on them, announcing he was "going to play with real musicians." This left the boys from London's East End in sad shape until 1969 when Jeff Beck made the mistake of sacking his bassist, Ron Wood. When Ron left, the group's vocalist, one Rod Stewart, went along with him, and the pair soon hooked up with the frowning remnants of The Small Faces. The new combination was quickly and ironically dubbed "a bunch of losers" by the English press. Two years later, after the "Maggie May" summer of 1971, The Faces emerged as a super-group to match their super soloist. And following the group's "Stay With Me" single, it look- ed as if they were going to stay on top this time around. But another two-year cycle has passed, and in the summer of 1973, The Faces once again had to steel their nerves and tough it out through another round of problems. Though the past three years indicated a steady upwards climb for them, with each tour meaning more audiences and more record sales, and with the parallel career of a hot Rod complementing the group's efforts, their reviews suddenly went sour. To make matters worse, Ron Lane left the group, unable to accept their... Circus Raves Magazine

Mott The Hoople flash to fame – the band that’s all about the cult! one-page article in Record Mirror, December 22, 1973. More Mott cult legends added weekly. IF 1974's going to be the year for rock bands to cultivate their Superstar image then Mott The Hoople must surely rate up there amongst the leaders. They have become the 1973 exponents of 'flash' rock, so much so, that a Mott cult following is now flourishing on both sides of the Atlantic. Despite his critics, lan Hunter must take most of the credit for elevating the band to this satisfactory position. He has always been the mainman. His confidence is always apparent during a Mott gig and it has triggered off throughout the band. When Mick Ralphs left Mott in the late Autumn of this year sarcastic remarks flowed over just how much influence Hunter was pushing on his fellow men. Mott had become the in-band with the New York posers and Ralph's departure had left a big gap open at a vital time. With no disrespect to Mr Ralphs, it was the best thing that could have happened to Mott for along came Luther Grosvenor, an unknown quantity from the remains of Stealer's Wheel who didn't have time to realise the possible consequences. Grosvenor changed his name and developed his dream image and within two weeks Mott's Aerial Bender was born and States-bound. Three months later what has happened? To quote a Mott song he's Just, One Of The Boys and who could have a better confidence booster than that, after such a short time with the band! Aerial is establishing himself in a grand way and 1974 must be the year when Mott's faith in him will be more than justified. " mainly that I The new boy is in his element: "I really love it," he says, grinning, ''I've been into this band's music for years and when I was with Stealers I never really had the chance to show it. I learnt a lot from Stealers should never have been with the band. A new life began through a simple telephone call from the States and Aerial was asked to join Mott. It seemed such an opportune time because Stealers had just broken after a lot of hassle and Ralphs had decided he was quitting Mott. "lan phoned me up from the States and asked me to join, it was as simple as that.

Roy Wood races to finish the new Wizzard album – Christmas deadline looms! Wood 'N' Wizzard, a two-page article in Disc, December 8, 1973. Quote from Roy: “This new album has got to be finished by Christmas, so once again we’ve had to rush it, but in spite of this, it’s looking as though it’s going to be a nice one. Naturally we’ve had problems like me not getting the time to write suitable songs for it, so we just had to get into a studio and work out the music. That’s done now, so now I’m hoping to go home to Birmingham this weekend and write a few songs.” NEW ALBUM "This new album has got to be finished by Christmas, so once again we've had to rush it, but in spite of this, it's looking as though it's going to be a nice one. Naturally we've had problems like me not getting the time to write suitable songs for it, so we just had to get into a studio and work out the music. That's done now, so now I'm hoping to go home to Birmingham this weekend and write a few songs," said Roy. The new album, which will be re-leased in the New Year, is to be called "Eddy And The Falcons"-the Falcons being the first group Woody was in. "The idea of this album is to re-create some of the sounds of the old rock and roll stars -people like Paul Anka, Rick Nel-son, Del Shannon and Carl Perkins. You gotta be careful doing an album like this otherwise it can end up sounding pretty sick. "The nice thing about this album is that all the tracks are quite short, so we'll be able to reshape the stage act to incorporate the album mater-ial," said Roy. As soon as the album is completed, Wizzard will rehearse a new stage show, which they'll put to test on a few gigs in Britain. Once things are running smoothly, the group's much
