Yeah, another bomb we'll be able to catch in the cut-out bin.  If the Who (I 
prefer Daltrey, Townshend, Entwistle) were ever to make another studio 
album, I'll take Glyn Johns.  Any producer who can make "It's Hard" better 
than what it could've been deserves some credit.   As for George Martin, he 
would never fit the peak mold of the Who.  However these days he might be a 
perfect match.  The Beatles could do sap and make it respectable, Townshend 
fails badly here.  Yet the blind ones with the sunglasses still show up.
