John Entwistle's second solo album escalated his descent into the perfumed quagmire of black humor that had only lightly dusted his debut release. And the reason was simple. "My son had just been born," reveals Entwistle, interviewed for the package, "so I was doing either the late night feed or the early morning feed, depending on what time I came in." Could boiling baby formula at four a.m. really drive a man to write brilliant stuff like "Apron Strings" or "The Window Shopper," a true tale about Entwistle's mistaken identity brush with the law over a Peeping Tom incident? Apparently so. The cast of characters was expanded for the second album to include musicians as diverse as crack guitarists Peter Frampton and Thunderclap Newman's Jimmy McCulloch, as well as Entwistle's carpenter, dragooned from his paneling duties into playing the trombone. First domestic CD release!
