Let's Have A Party

Mud

Recorded
1966-1979
Released

Mud were a classic example of a singles band that almost didn’t need albums to tell their story, riding the combination of the Mike Chapman/Nicky Chinn songwriting machine and cover versions of older hits to add their own cheery vibe to the heyday of UK glam rock. The 1990 compilation Let’s Have a Party makes for a perfect starting point to see what the shouting was all about, with massive hits like “Tiger Feet” and “Lonely This Christmas” combined with their Buddy Holly and Elvis remakes and more besides.
