Recommendations
Reviews
- This record is a hidden gem. Takes a few listens but holds up really well—kind of a fun/sad record that got made as a side project. Not The Who, although Heart to Hang On To sounds like an outtake from Quadrophenia. Reviews of the newer vinyl pressings are somewhat negative. Fortunately originals are easy to come by at bargain prices as of now! Well worth it. It seems like a different mix than the digital remasters. Overall great record that is neither rare nor well known.
- What a super collaborative effort from Messrs Townshend and Lane (R. I. P.), made even better by this wonderful sounding 5.1 surround mix (the only 96khz/24-bit pcm DualDisc I have ever came across!!).
- This should be listed under the album. All cassette's etc. should be listed under 'Empty Glass' album. that's my understanding.

The merits of this album have been documented extensively, so I will not expound on those any further. What is worth discussing, and sadly isn't at all, is the fact that the 5.1 mix on the dvd side of this disc is more than simply a remix. It contains alternate takes of solo's, false starts, and studio banter. It also creates the marvelous experience of being in the studio with the musicians. The bonus tracks are great as well.- Edited one year agoThe merits of this album have been documented extensively, so I will not expound on those any further.

- Excellent LP made when musicians earned their keep. With Clapton, Ian Stewart, Entwistle, others as guests, each song is a fully realized and finely crafted studio piece. With Glyn Johns production, the sound quality in the original recordings is top notch. The songs themselves are quite good, and the Townshend numbers, in particular, are among his best solo works.
- A decidedly folky, acoustic collection of songs from Townshend and Lane, with numerous gems including "Misunderstood", "Street In The City", "Annie", "My Baby Gives It Away" and "Heart To Hang Onto". Guests include Charlie Watts and Eric Clapton. I love the vibe to this album, it sounds like a group of buddies gathered together at a backyard bbq. No issues with this pressing, it has a warmth and openness to the soundstage that puts you right in the mix. My copy is very clean and quiet, with no noticeable surface noise.
- Large bubble on the last track of side a. Quality control anyone? I guess you need to spend $40+ on a top shelf product or it will be a crap pressing. And even then....
