This album that I bring you now, is the reconstruction of the demo tape
that served as a reference for the sessions held by “The Who” between May and
June 1972 at the Olympic Studios, with the sound engineer and producer Glyn
Johns of what should have been the new studio album that year entitled:
"Rock is dead-Long Live Rock!”, which was abandoned because it resembled,
according to its creator, Pete Townshend, to "Who´s next".
After the publication
of this latest work, on August 14, 1971 and his subsequent world tour, Pete
Townshend assured that he would never embark on another conceptual album,
because, the truncated "Lifehouse" project, almost ended with your
mental health.
But you can never say
that of: "never say, never again"; because during the months of
January to March, Pete was alternating family life with his home studio
recording, reviewing discarded material, and experimented with other new songs.
Little by little, a new concept of rock opera was formed in his mind, about
life in a rock band, which he soon identified as his own, and thus, unwittingly
or not, one song after another, under a common plot; it became
in the materialization of a demo tape that began recording on April at the
Eel Pie studios with:“Long Live Rock (demo #3). "Join
Together", "The Relay", "Put The Money Down," and “Love
Reign O'er Me” (demo #2),
Side A: (20:11)
1. Relay.(4:15).
2. Get Inside.(3:09).
3. Women´s Liberation.(5:01).
4. Love Reign O´er Me.(3:59).
5. Long Live Rock!.(3:46).
Side B: (19:23)
1. Is It In My Head.(4:12).
2. Put The Money
Down.(5:50)
3. Can´t You See I´m
Easy.(2:57).
4. Join Together (In The Band).(6:23).
Tape that served as a claim to reunite the band once again. So in the
month of May, The Who started that new project at the Olympic
studios, alternating with the Ramport Studios. Bit.ly/72aCtw But,that is
another story,that we will continue with a second part and a new
reconstruction of: "Rock is dead – long live rock” by The Who. At the moment enjoy with this advance.
