The Who - Rigor Mortis Sets In (1974)

 

Side A:
1. One Man Band - Roger Daltrey
2. There's a Heartache Following Me - Pete Townshend
3. Apron Strings - John Entwistle
4. Thinking - Roger Daltrey
5. Sheraton Gibson - Pete Townshend

Side B:
6. The Story So Far - Roger Daltrey
7. Content - Pete Townshend
8. I Feel Better - John Entwistle
9. Reasons - Roger Daltrey
10. Who Cares? - John Entwistle

This is the first in a set of three albums that combines tracks from solo albums by members of The Who. Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, and John Entwistle all released albums around 1972-73 at the same time as working on Rock is Dead, Long Live Rock which became Quadrophenia. 

For this I'm using Roger Daltrey's album Daltrey, Pete Townshend's album Who Came First?, and John Entwistle's album Nursery Rymes. John actually released two albums around this time, but his other album Rigor Mortis Sets In was more in the style of '50s rock and roll, though both that album and Pete's included a cover of a song from the '60s as well as songs that would end up on my reconstruction of the Lifehouse album. I found a version of the cover of Rigor Mortis that didn't have an artist name which I could use for my cover. John's albums ended up being the heaviest but I decided to use his other one. Also it would've been more of a collaborative album but maybe they would release this than Odds and Ends.

Hey did you know Devo had enough material to put out an album in 1974? Yeah so Mechanical Man as it turns out was not recorded in 1974. So I had to take some tracks out but I was actually able to replace them with some tracks that turned out to be recorded in 1974.

Hey did you know Devo had enough material to put out an album in 1974? This is coming from both of their Hardcore Devo compilation albums, including bonus tracks from the reissue of the second volume, but I put them on the side of the first volume cause it needed more tracks. This is also excluding the demos of Jocko Homo, Social Fools, and Be Stiff that were recorded this year, but I always preferred the 1977 versions from the Be Stiff EP.
