Contents

Mosh n' Roll contains 11 audio tracks, although the final track, "Mosh n' Roll" is not listed on the back cover or in the liner notes. The song was originally recorded and featured on the band's first official album, You Had Me At Hello (2002). The version that appears on Mosh n' Roll (the 2011 album) is a re-recorded version of the original. The re-recorded track and the album's title pay homage to Bury Your Dead's roots.

With the exception of the title track, all songs on the album are named after Kurt Vonnegut works. Previous Bury Your Dead albums also had themes: Cover Your Tracks (2004) has tracks named after movies featuring Tom Cruise, in Beauty and the Breakdown the theme was children's fairy-tales, expressed through track titles, artwork and song lyrics.

The album was recorded in Hyannis, MA at The Brick HitHouse studios and produced by Shane Frisby.

Mosh n' Roll was released on August 2, 2011, through Mediaskare Records.

Other material recorded at the sessions, including the title track, was shelved and released on the later albums Physical Graffiti and Coda. All instruments and vocals were provided by the band members Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitar), John Paul Jones, and John Bonham (drums). The album was produced by Page and mixed by Eddie Kramer. The cover was the first for the band to be designed by Hipgnosis and was based on a photograph taken at Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland.
