| 1972 | UK | Island | ILPS9215 | ||
| 1972 | US/UK | CBS | US:31750 UK:65184 | MTH's first glam-rock album. Includes the title track (their only Top 40 hit in the U.S.), Sweet Jane, Ready for Love, and others. Considered by most fans to be one of their best efforts. | |
| 1973 | US/UK | CBS | US:32425 UK:69038 | With the departure of keyboardist Verdan Allen, MTH continues as a quartet and releases perhaps their greatest album. Frequently ranks high in rock critics' selections of best 1970's albums. Includes the classic All the Way from Memphis and Ballad of Mott the Hoople. | |
| 1974 | US/UK | CBS | US:32871 UK:69062 | Generally not considered to be as good as the previous two studio albums, but contains several good songs, including the hit single The Golden Age of Rock and Roll, Crash Street Kidds, Marionnette, and Roll Away the Stone. | |
| 1974 | US/UK | CBS | US:33282 UK:60093 | More or less succeeds in capturing the excitement of MTH in concert. A full one side of the LP is devoted to MTH's Uris Theater concerts from May 1974. | |
| Drive On | 1975 | US/UK | CBS | US:33705 UK: 69154 | MTH continues, sans Ian Hunter and Mick Ronson. Generally considered to be substandard. |
| Pop Chronik | 1975 | UK | Island | Not Available | Another compilation of early material. |
| Shouting and Pointing | 1976 | US/UK | CBS | US:34236 UK:81289 | The final Mott the Hoople album. Not recommended by most critics. |
| 1976 | US/UK | CBS | US:34368 UK:81225 | Still the definitive one-volume MTH collection, although it does not cover the early years. | |
| 1993 | US/UK | CBS | C2K 46973 | Good 2-CD compilation. A few songs from MTH's pre-glam period, but the main focus is on 1972-74. Most of the best songs from All the Young Dudes, Mott and The Hoople plus some B-sides and previously unreleased material. | Backsliding Fearlessly: The Early Years | 1994 | US | Rhino | R2 71639 | CD compilation of early Mott (1969-72). The best of the first four albums, plus some B-sides. Now out of print. | 1995 | US | Unknown | Unknown | Low-budget CD compilation. The best of Mott, 1972-74. | 1997 | US | Sony | Unknown | Another low-budget CD-compilation covering 1972-74. Not very exciting. |
| 1998 | US | Sony International | Unknown | Long-awaited MTH box set. The best of Mott, plus lots of previously unreleased material. |
