180g Vinyl LP Reissue Mastered by Jon Astley and Cut at Half-Speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios; Packaging includes Obi Strip and Poster

Pete Townshend's achievements aren't often measured in pure commercial terms, but the year of 1980 was a notable one for The Who's chief songwriter as a solo artist. His autobiographical second album Empty Glass became a Top 5, platinum-selling record in the US, and on November 15 that year, he made the last of three entries onto the Billboard Hot 100. The album had already yielded the Top 10 US hit "Let My Love Open The Door" and a lesser success with "A Little Is Enough" when the new chart showed a new entry for "Rough Boys." Earlier in the year, the rocky, punk-influenced track had already given Townshend his only UK Top 40 single, when it edged to No. 39. Across the Atlantic, it peaked at No. 89. Songs from Empty Glass remained favorites of Pete's in his solo shows for years. This reissue has been mastered by Jon Astley and cut at half-speed on 180-gram vinyl by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. Packaged in the original sleeve with an obi strip and a certificate of authenticity, it also includes a full-color inner bag with poster and lyrics.
