Pete Townshend - White City: A Novel - 1985 - ATCO Records - Rock - Vinyl LP - Used

This 1985 solo effort from The Who’s legendary guitarist Pete Townshend is a concept-driven masterpiece titled White City: A Novel which arrives as a standard 12-inch vinyl LP under the ATCO Records label. Transitioning away from the high-octane stadium anthems of his primary band, Townshend explores a more atmospheric and narrative-heavy art rock style that remains a definitive staple of 1980s rock history. The record features the driving, horn-inflected hit Face the Face and the emotionally resonant Give Blood which showcases the intricate guitar textures and thoughtful songwriting Townshend is famous for. Recorded at the famous Eel Pie Studios, the album includes notable contributions from Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour, adding a layer of prestigious collaboration to this project. This used copy represents a quintessential piece of a solo discography that successfully merged the grit of London street life with the high ambitions of a rock opera.
