Brain Capers is the fourth album by the band Mott the Hoople. The initial working title of AC/DC would be abandoned in favour of a combination of alternate choices Brain Damage and Bizarre Capers. Ultimately, the album was titled Brain Capers as a compromise between the latter two. Earlier sessions, self-produced by the band, were also abandoned when svengali Guy Stevens was called in to rescue the recording but a number of these tracks have resurfaced on All the Young Dudes: The Anthology and as bonus material on Angel Air's re-issues of Mott the Hoople albums.
The album is dedicated to James Dean, as stated below the band photo on the back cover.
