Pete Townshend • Pete Townshend is an English musician. He is the co-founder, guitarist, second lead vocalist and principal songwriter of the Who, one of the most influential rock bands of the 1960s and 1970s. • His aggressive playing style and poetic song writing techniques, with the Who and in other projects, have earned him critical acclaim. • Townshend has written more than 100 songs for 12 of the Who's studio albums. These include concept albums, the rock operas Tommy (1969) and Quadrophenia (1973), plus popular rock radio staples such as Who's Next (1971); as well as dozens more that appeared as non-album singles, • bonus tracks on reissues, and tracks on rarities compilation albums such as Odds Sods (1974).

The album was produced by Chris Thomas (who had also produced Townshend's previous two albums, Empty Glass and All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes) and it was recorded by Bill Price at three separate recording studios in London, England: both of the Eel Pie studios, • and AIR. The album peaked at No. 70 on the UK Albums Chart, and at No. 26 on the US Billboard 200. • The track White City Fighting originated as a composition written by David Gilmour for his 1984 solo album About Face.
