- Edited 2 months agoSolid Townshend album regardless of listeners complaints ie unrelatable, pretentious etc. Songs are well composed with nice dynamics and a tight backup band mostly comprised of Big Country's bassist and guitarist both are why I enjoyed the BC debut so much. The Sea Refuses No River is probably the high point of the lot of tracks with Slit Skirts getting its fair share of airplay back in the day. I can hear where Pete's compositional style lead to his brilliant 1985 White City. Enjoyable listen with no folky elements or added velveeta!

This is miles away from the homespun simplicity of WHO CAME FIRST. From the unusual title to the contents within, rarely was Townshend's music this pretentious and deliberately impenetrable. There are still a number of gems here, including "The Sea Refuses No River", "Face Dances Part Two", "Stardom In Action", "Somebody Saved Me" and "Slit Skirts". This pressing sounds pretty good, with solid range from top to bottom, and plenty of oomph. My copy plays nice and clean, with just a trace of light surface noise at the beginning of each side.- Edited one year agoProblem with these reissues that every title I heard sounds like crap ... And the reason for this is ........................... In 2006 these were remastered on CD in the loudness war by Jon Astlley which on my watch says it was a DR 6 and then if you master from a loud digital master the crappier the sound is going to end up sounding like it's squashed right almost low fidelity but not horrible most Miles Showell mastering sounds like this . Well when you have a new loud mastering you have no choice but to squash the sound so the needle doesn't skip all over the LP sounds like something from Rob Ludwig in 1969 some band called Zeppelin or something... They have all this loudness going on a piece of vinyl that can't handle what a CD can and so .... so much of the sound gets lost in the process.... Take a 1982 copy mint if possible and compare them ... Even the half speed mastering couldn't save this to sound like a improved version... If you want a improved version get the 24 mulritrack tape from 1982 and remix it for vinyl not CD ... And watch those meters .... Idiots. Should of used Bill's 1985 mastering instead ....
- just got a vg+++ copy of this, all titles on the sleeve are in spanish & the lp sleeve is rather thin... i was lucky enough to get a vg++++ sleeve & lp on this one....

This was one album of 4 that I picked up for 10 bucks. Didn't have it and it look in really good condition. Never listened to it before and probably won't again. Just couldn't get in to any of the songs. Seemed pretentious, drawn out and the songs seemed unrelatable.- this was a great 2006 japan only mini lp repica cd edition of this townshend solo album from 1982 wich i like a lot ( i remember back in 82 some didnt like this & it seemed to get little airplay on the radio unlike tracks from empty glass & rough mix did) anyway this was also released in this format in japan with better original japan lp replication and the shm remastering wich sounds a bit better then this standard edition did, i have all japan editions of these releases............
- this was quite a bit different as this was petes third solo album ( make it 4 if you want to count who came first) released in early summer 1982, i liked this record a lot back then and still do almost 40 years on, what was obvious was pete giving up the booze & other stuff had changed his writing quite a bit i saw & heard on this record, anyway this is a nice japan edition that sounds great!!!!!! to many thoughts into the lyrics though..
- I have what appears to be a US promo version of this. Does anyone know if there is an entry for it I'm just not finding? Thanks! Jason
- this is another fantastic vinyl reissue of this 1982 classic, this was pressed in the eu and the viynl is a beautiful gold swirl and is a half speed remaster, the viynl is thick and this was about my last favorite townshend solo album to date, i can remember buying this one new 35 years ago when it was released in june 1982, next to the original japan lp edition this is the nicest reissue of this classic, some did not care for this record but i love almost every song on this slab of wax as much as i did way back in 82......................
