The album was released on Track Records in the UK and Decca Records in the US. Though the first solo album by any member of the Who, the record includes notable playing and backing vocals by fellow Who member Keith Moon as well as strong musical influences from the group's work. The macabre cover artwork was concocted by Entwistle and photographer Graham Hughes, cousin of the Who's vocalist Roger Daltrey. It depicts Entwistle's face wearing a death mask, transposed against an X-ray picture of the lungs of a terminal heart patient, obtained from Entwistle's doctor. The gatefold cover features the X-ray of a pregnancy test, maintaining the "life vs. death" theme.[1] The album features a remake of Entwistle's Who live classic "Heaven and Hell" with the Who's on and off roadie Dave "Cyrano" Langston, who had encouraged Entwistle to make the album and provided some acid-drenched guitar. Langston was even thought to be Pete Townshend under a pseudonym. When Entwistle was asked about his first single, "I Believe in Everything", in comparison with the rest of the album, he said: {{Album reviews |rev1 = Allmusic |rev1score = {{Rating|4.5|5}} [{{Allmusic|class=album|id=r36713|pure_url=yes}} link] |rev2 = Christgau's Record Guide |rev2Score = B[3] }} The UK album differs from the US version. Entwistle remixed "What Are We Doing Here?" and the vocals sound quite different, possibly taken from a different vocal track. Track listingAll tracks written and composed by John Entwistle, except where indicated.
