> I worked for The Who's record company between 1970-75
> at Track Records then of 70 Wardour Street, London W1,
> and during my time there was lucky enough to be at
> various promo-gigs/rehearsals for The Who and other
> Track artistes.

> One fine memory was being at the launch of John's
> bands album <Rigor Mortis> "Rigor Mortis Sets In" at

> rather drunk John and his band blew the roof off, what
> a great gig.

> John was always at is happiest playing live and  even
