Once Bitten Twice Shy

May 15, 2000 sees the release of Sony Music's Ian Hunter's double CD, a collection which compliments last year's Mott the Hoople Anthology and Official Biography of Hunter and his former group. The new 2 CD collection entitled Once Bitten Twice Shy provides a definitive sampling of Ian's material from his first solo album up to the present day.

Sony's new 39 track set includes a generous proportion of unreleased, rare and demo recordings, all remastered from original tapes whereever possible. Previously unheard and collectable gems include 'Coldwater High' (originally intended as the final Mott single) and 'One Fine Day' from the Ian Hunter sessions, both with newly recorded vocals. 'Common Disease' from the All American Alien Boy period, 'Junkman' (with Genya Ravan). Several other unreleased songs are included: 'Ill Wind,' 'All is Forgiven,' and 'Aint No Way to Treat A Lady' plus "All The Young Dudes' recorded live with Def Leppard.
