The Who 2 LP Endless Wire / Sealed Original Pressing / Jam / Kinks / Mods
Sealed original first pressing Double Vinyl LP vinyl on the USA Universal label from 2006, B000784501. Tiny corner crease top right hand corner, not that noticeable, you will be hard pressed to find a better copy.
Nearly a quarter-century (and bassist John Entwistle) passed between the Who's last album and this 21-song epic, which at its best has the band of two pining for the days of Who's Next. Built from the triumph of the mini-opera Wire & Glass EP (included here in its entirety), Endless Wire mixes metaphors of music, war, and religion, while showcasing Roger Daltrey's ageless vocal cords and Pete Townshend at his windmilling best. Launching with a Baba O'Riley-like synth break in Fragments, Daltrey asks Are we breathing out or breathing in? and Townshend answers with a thrashing, crashing Gibson. When the volume is turned up, there are echoes of three decades ago. It's Not Enough and Mike Post Theme conjure images of Entwistle and Keith Moon, the latter song, with its quiet verse and thunderous chorus, recalls Going Mobile and longs for Moon to whack it into shape. But the linchpin remains Townshend's songwriting, whether he's questioning faith (Man in a Purple Dress), showing gratitude for support (You Stand By Me), or dreaming of entertaining immortals into eternity (Out on an Endless Wire). By the final song, we realise that as long as Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey walk the earth in tandem, The Who lives on.
