Daltrey

"Daltrey" is the debut solo album by The Who's lead singer, Roger Daltrey . It was first released in 1973, on the Track label in the UK and by MCA in the USA. The album took six weeks to record during January and February 1973. Sessions took place at Daltrey's Barn Studio, Burwash, East Sussex, where the backing tracks were laid down; vocals, overdubs, and mixing were completed at The Beatles' Apple Studios at 3 Savile Row (the vocals for "One Man Band (reprise)" were recorded on the Apple rooftop, where The Beatles had performed their famous final concert in January 1969), and at Nova Sound Studios. All but two of the songs were co-written by the previously unknown Leo Sayer, who later became a well-known singer in his own right, Sayer went on to become quite the pop star and enjoyed greater chart success than Daltrey did as a solo artist. In fact the opening and final track on the album, 'One Man Band' became one of Sayer's biggest hits. Former British pop teen idol Adam Faith and Dave Courtney co-produced the album.
