Packaging Spotlight: Mott The Hoople

Published on 23 October 2026 at 08:05

Today's packaging spotlight is about Mott the Hoople's "Brain Capers" Rhino Reserve pressing from Rhino Records.

This album stripped away the polish and glam for heavy, unfiltered hard-driving rock with snarling guitars and Ian Hunter's vocals.

It was released during a turbulent time for Mott the Hoople just before their commercial breakthrough.

This version of "Brain Capers" is pressed on 180-gram black vinyl.

It's part of the Rhino Reserve collection and it is available exclusively at brick-and-mortar record stores.

The lacquers were cut from analog tape.
