  Seven Songs for the Week #145 - 14th Jan 26

  Jason Carty

  A few weeks ago I read a thread on the Hoffman forums praising this record, a record I had avoided for decades because of its title. I went to YouTube and found myself watching the "video album" created to go alongside its release. It was 1982 after all. It is pretentious and solipsistic, but then again this is Pete Townshend we are talking about. I gave the album a spin on streaming and it was fine - I included the track Communication on a playlist at the time.

  A half-speed remaster vinyl reissue appeared in the sale of the excellent SpinDizzy store in Dublin - 50% off, "only" €18. Bought it, gave it a spin and... it's a pretty good record. Who knew?
