Keith Moon - Two Sides Of The Moon

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.
