Notes:  The 80's were upon us and punk was coming into its stride. "Rough Boys" kicks off the set and we don't look back. Pete dedicates this song to both his children and the Sex Pistols and goes on to dedicate the LP to his wife.  There's also a quote from Pete's guide through it all, Avatar Meher Baba on the inner sleve. All this aside this is a great record for one and all. There's enough in the way of differing styles to keep you interested from start to finish and Pete is playing with some of his long time studio mates. They always bring something to the table to hold it all together.

Line Up:

Pete Townshend: guitars, synths and vocals
"Rabbit" Bundrick: straight keyboards
