This Japanese pressing is part of a Pete Townsend miniature LP sleeve CD release series that has been fully remastered. Imperial. 2006.

The Who's ringmaster Pete Townshend and the Faces' bass man Ronnie Lane took their mutual admiration society to its obvious conclusion on this 1977 all-star effort (with guest appearances from guitarist Eric Clapton, Stones' drummer Charlie Watts, and Bad Co. bassist Boz Burrell). Overall it's an appropriately loose-limbed and rocking affair, with some good tunes traded back and forth (namely Pete's "My Baby Gives It Away" and Ronnie's "Annie"). It's also a little schizophrenic, though; with Townshend's sculpted song structures occasionally at odds with Lane's back porch ditties. There's surprisingly little vocal interplay either; although the one real duet, a hushed take of Don Williams's "Till the Rivers All Run Dry," is the clear highlight of the set.
