It’s a close tie between which of Pete’s albums I like the most: While I find Empty Glass particularly good, I also adore Who Came First, and really enjoy the folk feel it has to it. This is a nice copy as well; mine is very clean and plays with little crackle, if any. Just another great album by Mr. Townshend. -
I have a copy in hand: with a small note card, with what appears as a hand written note from Mr. Townsend himself. Anyone else? -
Really love this album, it doesn’t compare to his other solo lp’s or any Who releases but it has a intimacy and sweetness that is so genuine. Really dig it
