Pete Townshend Empty Glass Half Speed

Today, Pete Townshend turns 78 years young.  The Who frontman will be touring Europe with Roger Daltrey in June and July as well as keeping busy with other endeavors; his Tony Award-winning musical The Who's Tommy will see a major revival from original director Des McAnuff in Chicago this summer.  On June 23, UMe will revisit two solo chapters of Townshend's career with half-speed mastered reissues of two solo albums, Rough Mix (1977) and Empty Glass (1980).  These are just the first in a series

RonnieLane JustForAMoment Music1973 1997 pl

Ask any of his collaborators and they'll tell you, Ronnie Lane was special. Sure, he was an exceedingly talented singer, bassist, guitarist, and songwriter; he was also a uniquely open-minded and welcoming collaborator who was more than willing to nurture talent. But what really sets Ronnie Lane apart is the way he subverted what it meant to be a popular musician. Unlike the majority of his peers, Ronnie Lane didn't want to be a rock star. He wanted his music to reach people, sure, but he'd

RGM RonWood RonnieLane MahoneysLastStand

In the last few months, Real Gone Music has announced a number of welcome reissues of soundtracks on LP.  Next up in the series are two soundtracks to hard-to-find films, due out February 1:  one by a countercultural hero and voice of experimentation, the other by a pair of Faces who explore a rural blend of folk-rock. Timothy Leary remains one of the legends of the sixties counterculture scene.  He cashed in on the hippies' sense of adventure and experimentation to become a spokesperson for

RGM RonWood RonnieLane MahoneysLastStand

Mahoney's Last Stand was Ron Wood and Ronnie Lane's soundtrack to the film of the same name.  Though the film and its soundtrack were produced in 1972--Wood and Lane cut the tracks in between sessions for Ooh La La--neither production saw the light of day until 1976.  The film was a flop but the star power of the soundtrack have afforded it a cult following in the decades since.  The sessions were produced by Glyn Johns and feature Pete Townshend on guitar and electronics, plus session

Pete Townshend Truancy

Pete Townshend recently confessed to Rolling Stone, "I just hope that on my deathbed I don't embarrass myself by asking someone, 'Can you pass me my guitar?  And will you run the backing tape of 'Baba O'Riley'?  I just want to do it one more time."  Yet Townshend still finds himself looking to the past even as he embraces the present and future.  While on the road celebrating (for the final time?) the legacy of The Who with creative partner Roger Daltrey, Townshend will issue a new solo
