Mud is a British glam rock band that formed in 1966, best known for their energetic performances and catchy hits during the 1970s. The original lineup consisted of vocalist Les Gray, guitarist Rob Davis, bassist Ray Stiles, and drummer Dave Mount. They gained significant popularity with a string of successful singles, often characterized by their fusion of rock 'n' roll rhythms, pop sensibilities, and a glam aesthetic. Their sound was marked by a combination of stomping beats and melodic hooks, which made them standouts during the era of platform shoes and glitter.

The band reached the pinnacle of their fame with chart-topping hits like "Tiger Feet," which was the UK's best-selling single of 1974, and "Lonely This Christmas," a holiday classic that still enjoys airplay every festive season. Although their success was predominantly in the mid-70s, Mud continued to influence the music scene with occasional reunions and releases. In recent years, the legacy of Mud has seen a resurgence through remastered collections of their work, such as "The Private Stock Mudpack: Special Great Hits Recipe (2023 Remastered)" and "Mud the Private Stock Collection (2023 Remastered)," ensuring that a new generation of glam rock enthusiasts can enjoy the timeless sound that Mud crafted in their heyday.
