5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone!, April 8, 2007

By	Philip R. Whelan (Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Every one complains when you can't buy a recording.
When it is finally rereleased , all we hear is nit-picking complaints.
This remastered cd sounds great .Go and buy it if you like Hunter/Mott

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, almost 25 years later, maybe it's time for a re-appraisal, January 9, 2007

By	Bill Board (God's Wrath, Ohio) - See all my reviews

I once "reviewed" this album elsewhere, saying it was one of Ian's far lesser efforts. I still believe that, despite the fact that most everybody sucked during the vile eighties. So it'll be very nice to listen to AOTGOAT on legitimate CD for the first time. OK, you already know that Clarence plays sax on both versions of the title cut, and that Ian's musical "better half," Mick Ronson, appears just once on "Death And Glory Boys." A chum once kind of bootlegged a "ho-made CD" copy of AOTGOAT for me, and I was very pleasantly surprised to hear how much better the music had held up into the new millenium (MUCH better than the previous "Short Back And Side"). And it's no secret that the song "That Girl Is Rock And Roll" is almost the equal of anything Ian did on his first album or "Schizophrenic." And the reissue is supposed to include the "single" mix of both it and the title cut, so that will be something else to listen up for, too...1/25 - no "Girl," something called "Traitor." "Buy The Ticket, Take The Ride," I guess...

5.0 out of 5 stars Ian Hunter, All Of The Good Ones Are Taken , June 30, 2008

A nice collection of songs from one of the best and most underated song writers of his generation. If you are already a fan of Ian or his previous band Mott the hoople you will love this album. From opener All Of The Good Ones Are Taken through to Traitor this album is full of Ian's wit and sophistication. This is one of my favorite Ian Hunter albums particularly Fun, Speechless, Captain Void And The Video Jets and the title track, which was a big hit on MTV back in the 80's.
If you're not already a fan, well, take a chance, treat yourself to one of England's finest, you may just suprise yourself. 9/10
