The Who - Face Dances, wow, forgot I even owned this 

Easily done! I’m a great Who fan, but this was not their finest hour????

I think the perception is that it suffers from being the first album after the demise of Moon, yet Kenney Jones is not the weak link.

Agreed. I personally think they peaked 5 years earlier with Quadrophenia, and creatively were fading before Moon’s death. I very rarely play anything they recorded after ‘73.

Same here,and if anything the album I now play the most is "Rough Mix"

Anyway, that's my session over for the evening so Goodnight.

Thanks to whomever on the forum posted this a while back and piqued my interest.

The Who had a purple patch between Tommy and at a stretch Who by Numbers although Who Are you is a great track anything before and especially afterwards is entirely forgettable but when you have written two of the greatest rock albums ever in Who's Next and Quadropnenia and the finest bar none duet album with Ronnie Lane in Rough Mix then you can be forgiven the likes of Face Dances.

Great cover though who were the artists David Hockney and Peter Blake spring to mind who also did St Peppers and Paul Weller's Stanley Rd any others?

Chris Robinson

Bit of a change of pace for me, enjoying on headphones at work

Bob, I think Richard Hamilton was also one of the commissioned artists.It was he who designed the cover and poster collage for the "White Album".

Various - Formula Thirty 2, a brilliant early cd compilation from '86.Obviously the SQ varies from track to track ,but its generally very good.

Freddie Hubbard - Ready for Freddie. Great choice of sidemen in this album including two-thirds of Coltrane's regular supporting cast and Wayne Shorter. Interesting choice to include a euphonium player too, in this case Bernard McKinney.

Fancied some synthesised pop, so playing various tracks from ,Spandau Ballet - The Singles Collection and Alison Moyet - Alf.

Interesting album...

Ewemon,

Rorys death still makes me sad.What a talent he was and such a nice guy from what I have seen and read about him.Here is a video that always amazes me for talent ....Rory at the Marquee in London doing I could have had Religion  (you where probably there ).....Rory was just 24......playing with the confidence of someone way older.....genius

Thanks for sharing this TC.  He's still my favourite live performer.  Never seen anything to compare since.

Was lucky enough to have seen him in Taste and as a solo act a number of times. Also had the pleasure of meeting him and having a drink or two or three. Really nice guy and a fabulous guitarist who could literally set a place on fire with the energy from his show.

 

I totally agree - a great talent. I first became aware of him when Taste appeared at the end of a 1970 edition of the Granada Reports local news program of all things. They performed "I'll Remember" from "On the Boards". I rushed out and bought the LP next day and never looked back. Saw Rory a number of times in Liverpool and Manchester after that, also (I think) at the 1971 Weeley Festival in Essex. What he could do with a battered Strat and a tiny amp (Vox AC30?) was almost unbelievable.
