“This is something that we’ve honed down to an art in the last few years,” she added. “He always comes up with something I wouldn’t have thought of myself and I love surprises.”

The first in a series of half speed mastered studio albums from Pete Townshend – Rough Mix and Empty Glass – will be released via UMe on June 23.

These limited-edition black vinyl versions have been half-speed mastered by long-time Who engineer Jon Astley and cut for vinyl by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios.

Rough Mix is presented in a gatefold sleeve, and Empty Glass features a full-color inner bag with full lyrics and a 12″ x 24″ poster.

Rough Mix was initially released in September 1977 while The Who were on hiatus and was a collaboration with late Small Faces bassist Ronnie Lane and features contributions from Who bassist John Entwistle, Eric Clapton, and Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts, among others.

Produced by Chris Thomas, Empty Glass was Townshend’s next solo release, arriving in April 1980. The songs predominantly deal with issues Townshend was struggling with at the time, including alcohol, drugs, and the death of Keith Moon, the Who’s former drummer.

The limited-edition black vinyl versions are available for pre-order below:

After recently undergoing surgery, Bonnie Raitt took to Instagram to provide an update about her health.

“I want to thank you all for your beautiful, caring wishes for my speedy recovery,” Raitt wrote. “Everything went really well. My healing is on track and I’m feeling better every day.”

About touring, Raitt wrote, “The band and I can’t wait to get back to playing in a few weeks. I’m so sorry we had to postpone our shows and apologize to those of you who won’t be able to join us for the rescheduled dates. I so appreciate your support and hope you can come see us another time.”

Raitt, who now has 13 Grammys overall after winning three Grammys at the 2023 ceremony and has a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award as well, had to postpone four shows due to her surgery.
