ABOUT THE SONGS"
________________

1. Armenia City in the Sky- "(John Keene) Gowmonk, Inc. (BMI)
Recorded and mixed at IBC Studio A, London on October 20, 1967.
Lead vocal by John Keene and Roger Daltrey (through effects filter).
[Written by Pete's former roommate and chauffeur John "Speedy" Keene. This is the second of two times that The Who used a song written specifically for them by a person outside the group. A year later Keene would be part of the Townshend-created group Thunderclap Newman. This track was released as a single in Japan backed with 'Mary Anne With the Shaky Hand.']

Radio London [These were actual jingles left over from the pirate radio station that had been shut down by the August 15th, 1967 Marine Broadcasting Bill. The company that created these jingles later brought a lawsuit against The Who for using them. A settlement was reached."

2. Heinz Baked Beans- "Recorded at De Lane Lea or IBC Studios, London on October 11, 1967. [This is one of several jingles on the album recorded by John and Keith]"

3. Mary Anne with the Shaky Hand- "Recorded at De Lane Lea Studios, London on October 24, 1967. This was actually The Who's third attempt at recording 'Mary Anne.' They tried an electric version first at Talentmasters Studios in New York on August 6, 1967, and again, also electric, on August 7. In the end it was the final version which was released first on Sell Out. [The end 'shaky' sound was not on the original tape and was created for this reissue. It was released in the Netherlands as a single February 2nd, 1968 backed with 'I Can't Reach You.' It failed to chart. The Who performed this live a few times during the summer of 1968, occasionally during the 1989 tour and acoustically in 1999.] "

4. Odorono- "Recorded at IBC Studios, London, on October 11, 1967. ["Odorono" was an actual product officially called Odo-Ro-No, a popular underarm deodorant, the first marketed specifically for women.]"

  • you should upload A Quick One as well

  • @TheHappyDudeUK

    Yeah sorry dude, for not getting on with the series. I was eager to start it, then I somehow abandoned it and haven't gotten around to it. My ultimate goal is just to upload all major Who albums w/ the lyrics of course. I will try and do the rest of this album and A Quick One is def. one I'm gonna tackle soon!

  • pete townshend the biggest nose in rock and roll

  • @MrToonaPhish

    If Townshend has the biggest nose in rock, then does Ray Davies (personal hero) have the biggest gap between his teeth, in rock history? Haha,

  • my favorite Who album. thanks for uploading this timeless classic years before its time.

  • Sure, no problem. This series will be pretty short, seeing as most tracks off this album are small and that there are (I think) 10 or 11 tracks. I want this to be one of the most creative ones I have done yet, and I will add a bit more information in the 'description' part. 'Who's Next' is what's next for my series! lol

  • The sea is already brown.

  • @MrToonaPhish So what? Pete Townshend, next to Lennon and McCartney or Ray Davies is the biggest talent in rock history. You ever hear Pete Townshend cover Phish? You ever hear Phish cover the......YES they did, the whole Quadrophenia album.

  • @bandit687 Keith Moon=what's for tea mum, Pete Townshend=what's for tea darling, John Entwistle=what's for tea daughter
