Rough Mix: Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane

A one-off record, this is called Rough Mix, by Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane. A number of guest stars appear on this record - too many to list them all here, but one of rock's great boogie-woogie piano players is on this record, that would be Ian Stewart: see also Led Zeppelin for some of his work. The record came out in 1977. Today, the hit song on it, called "My Baby Gives It Away" remains a an all-time great rock song. That song, cranked, sounds great on vinyl. This photo is the inside gatefold cover. Lane was at the time bassist for Small Faces/The Faces. You can see the front cover of this record to your right. I am experimenting with my photo techniques; lighting, display angles, tripod position, etc. as I try to get the photos better.
