Since I last wrote about Mr. Entwistle, I have added a few J.E. titles to my collection, including re-mastered CD’s for most titles. I think his 1971 debut solo “Smash Your Head…” is one of the greatest albums in the canon of work by any member of The Who. And it’s a darned fine 1971 release, and 2011 is the 40th anniversary of 1971!
We are definitely going to be discussing 1971 a lot this year!
