Townshend has made so many demos that I've created two different series for them. One series contains all the demos I could find of songs that weren't included on albums by the Who, or his solo albums. Then there's this series of demos for songs that did eventually make it to Who albums or solo albums. During this time period, Townshend was busy, putting out both 1980 solo album "Empty Glass" and the 1981 Who album "Face Dances."
Five of the songs here made it to "Empty Glass" in different form. One, "Teresa," would later get on the 1982 album "It's Hard" with the title change to "Athena." I'm not quite sure why "Initial Machine Experiments" got on here instead of my other Townshend demos series, but oh well. The remaining six songs made it to "Face Dances."
Most of the versions here have been officially released. Generally, they came out on the compilations "Scoop," "Another Scoop," and "Scoop 3." Four of the songs that made it to "Empty Glass" were released as bonus tracks on that album. Finally, "Another Tricky Day" is unreleased.
This album is 59 minutes long.
