Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend's Empty Glass (1980) found the singer-songwriter-guitarist reflecting on mortality, drugs, alcohol, spirituality, and falling out of love.  Some have called it the best Who album the band never recorded, with Roger Daltrey reportedly having expressed disappointment that it wasn't a Who record.  "Rabbit" Bundrick joined in, as did Faces/Who drummer Kenney Jones, Big Country bassist Tony Butler, drummer Simon Phillips, and others.  Featuring the U.S. top ten hit "Let My Love Open the Door" and the U.K. top 40 entry "Rough Boys," Empty Glass has been Half-Speed Mastered by Jon Astley and cut for vinyl by Miles Showell at Abbey Road.  It features a full-color inner bag with lyrics and a 12" x 24" poster.
