Released in 1977, Rough Mix stands as a unique and celebrated collaboration between The Who's Pete Townshend and Faces bassist Ronnie Lane. Rather than a traditional co-writing effort, the album features tracks independently written by each artist, with the two musicians lending their talents to one another's songs — a dynamic that elevated the recordings to something truly special. The result is a decidedly folky, acoustic collection that showcases a more intimate and personal side of both artists.
Highlights from the album include standout tracks such as "Misunderstood," "My Baby Gives It Away," "Annie," "Street In The City," and "Heart To Hang Onto," with critics noting that several of Townshend's contributions rank among his keenest songwriting in years. This 2023 half-speed mastered pressing from Polydor is presented in a gatefold cover, complete with an obi strip and a certificate of authenticity, making it a noteworthy addition to any serious rock collection.
