Keith Moon - Two Sides Of The Moon
Jazz News
June 5, 2006
Castle Music in association with Sanctuary Records announced the 3rd July 2006 release of the solo album from the Who's celebrated rock 'n' roll drummer, the late and great Keith Moon. The album "Two Sides Of The Moon" is exp anded for the first time and features previously unreleased bonus material including out-takes, special mixes and rare spoken word. The album coincides with the 60th anniversary of Keith Moon's birthday, and the 40th anniversary of the "Pictures Of Lily" limited edition Keith Moon replica drum kit. The release also dovetails the forthcoming film biopic "See Me Feel Me" starring Mike Myers as Keith Moon.
The album includes collaborations with Ringo Starr, Ronnie Wood, Flo & Eddie, David Bowie, Harry Nilsson, John Sebastian, Steve Cropper, Dick Dale, Joe Walsh, Fanny, John Sebastian, and is compiled by resident Who expert Andy Neil, and mastered by Jon Astley.
Keith Moon is considered by many to be the archetypal 'wildman' rock 'n' roll drummer. As the original powerhouse drummer for The Who, Moon wrote the book on rock 'n' roll excess and paid the ultimate price when, at the young age of thirty-two, he unexpectedly passed away from a drugs overdose in 1978. Moon occasionally contributed and performed on other peoples' records, however, in 1975, he released his only solo album, "Two Sides Of The Moon". Never taken seriously upon its original commercial release thirty-one years ago, the album now appears to have captured the essence of Moon's unique and gifted talents.
Recorded in a series of marathon sessions that were as notable for their huge bills for alcohol as the studio time involved, the collection of songs are a haunting mix of innocent '50s/early-'60s rock & roll and leering, joyful lust, and a savage sense of wit directed at the music business and played out both between and in the songs themselves. This deluxe edition of the album includes nearly 2 hours of bonus material that has never been heard before.

I'm afraid to say it's about the worst album in my collection. Moon doesn't even drum on it. |

I found it a few years ago in one of the few remaining cut-bins I know of. I played it once and shuddered at howe bad it was.
Keith Moon wasn't a record maker. He was too busy being the elder statesmen for The Great American Booze Revival Movement.
Happy Satan Day to you Keith! You remain an inspiration to the devil in all of us. |
