Classic Records Quiex SV release! Click here to read about this exciting new vinyl formulation!

This delightful release from 1977 has garnered special attention from audiophiles since its release for the sound engineered into it by Glyn Johns and Jon Astley. Michael Fremer refers affectionately to this title as "The Original Unplugged". Desired mint copies of British first-pressings have become scarce and expensive.

Now pressed on 180 grams and taken directly from the original analog masters, this pairing of The Who's mastermind Pete Townsend and the late Ronnie Lane (d. 1997) from the Small Faces, shows a new generation why this was one of the few "summit, all-star affairs" from the 1970's that not only met but exceeded expectations.

Joining the pair are Eric Clapton on assorted guitars, The Who's John Entwistle on bass, Charlie Watts of the Stones behind the drums and the late Ian Stewart on keyboards. Townshend's manic power-rock side is well represented and tastefully off-set by Lane's tender contrasts. Centered mainly around acoustic guitars, there is some dazzling finger work from Townshend and Clapton throughout.

All in all, the set has a laid back and loose feel to it, but also one that leaves the listener wishing for follow-ups and live "unplugged" recordings that were to never be. Highlights include a trip to downtown London in the string-laden "Street In The City", the energetic "My Baby Gives It Away" and "Heart To Hang Onto" and even some country in 'Till The Rivers All Run Dry". Two of Lane's finest efforts round it out in "Annie" and "April Fool", the later with Clapton's blues runs the perfect compliment.

Selections: My Baby Gives it Away, Nowhere to Run, Rough Mix, Annie, Keep Me Turning, Misunderstood, April Fool, Street in the City, Heart to Hang Onto, Till the Rivers All Run Dry.
