Set for release on April 23rd for Record Store Day is the first vinyl version of Pete Townshend’s Face The Face. The collection, which was first issued on CD and DVD back in 2016, captures Townshend’s short-lived 16-piece Deep End band featuring David Gilmour — along with Simon Phillips who would serve as the Who’s drummer on their 1989 reunion tour.
The January 29th, 1986 show was Deep’s End’s third and final full-length concert and was captured by the German TV series Rockpalast at MIDEM in Cannes. Although shorter than the November 1985 Deep End shows — which were chronicled on previous Townshend releases, Deep End Live! and the extended Live: Brixton Academy ’85 — Face The Face includes two songs not featured on either collection: “Slit Skirts” and “Hiding Out.”
