Pete Townshend – White City (A Novel)

Good and unexpected performance. Fine songs and one hit : Face To Face. Good take of sound, fine stereo, good pressing.

Solid pressing. A lot of midrange. Drums are loud and perhaps overly processed, but it was 1985.

It's rather amazing to realize that this "post-Who," "later-solo-period" Pete Townshend release is now more than 35 years old! Townshend, one of Rock's greatest guitarists and songwriters, created an enjoyable, somewhat conceptual album here, complete with near-hits that received ample radio-play ("Give Blood," "Face the Face") at the time of their release. Nothing astonishing or revelatory, but certainly nothing embarrassing either. Townshend proved himself still relevant to the aging Classic Rock faithful and the FM stations always seeking something new and noteworthy from one of their "go-to" performers. As always, he composed a set of songs that continued to affirm his deep well of creativity was far from dry.

WAS THIS EVER RELEASED ........... PETE ? CAUSE LIKE THERE IS NO COPIES FOR SALE HERE.

Anyone care to comment on how this sounds when compared to the original pressing?

this is the 5th townshend solo album to be released on 180g vinyl this year, this was printed in the netherlands and comes on nice thick blue vinyl with a replica of the original insert that came with this record. this has been a good year for townshends solo reissues in this format but this was the last solo effort by pete i thought was decent as this was 1985 and the album does suffer from the 1980s/mtv pop sound, regardless there are still great songs here.........
