Born Late '58

Born Late '58

Born Late '58 is the name of a single taken from Mott the Hoople's seventh and final studio album The Hoople. It is the only Mott the Hoople track credited solely to and sung by group bassist Peter Watts prior to the group reforming as simply "Mott". Just prior to the recording, de facto group leader Ian Hunter left the recording studio in frustration with the group's new guitarist Ariel Bender. As a consequence, this is the only track in the seven albums credited to "Mott the Hoople" that Hunter had no direct involvement in. Ironically (perhaps intentionally), the track features Bender's guitar as the most prominent instrument.

The song tells the story of a romantic encounter with an underage girl (Born in 1958, therefore 16 years old).
