You're probably right there, Harry! I even think that the first thing Pete will do once the touring is over is work on the Quad remaster and do the recording of new songs afterwards. A 4-CD remastered Quad box with lots of live stuff including some from the 70s would be nice to have. But then of course new stuff is much more important!

I can't help but feel the whole new album thing seems less and less likely.

I can't help but feel the whole new album thing seems less and less likely. i came to this conclusion when they started booking shows this year. after all isnt this the year they were supposed to release a new full length studio album or atleast i thought i had read that somewhere. |

PT made the comment at one of the recent shows that working in the studio had more or less gone to pot.

especially with what pete said at the recent concerts At the early concerts he started by saying that an album was on the way, then he started saying it less, and finally he just talked about the two new songs. I agree with you Bonie. |

well if rglb and orw, while not too terrible of songs are an indication of what a new who album would have been like then i guess it is just as well that there wont be a new album.
i wonder is it a question of his confidence being shot about working with this new incarnation of the who or is he just scared that he wont have favorable chart positioning? is he worried that his genius has left him and become complacent sitting on and financially gaining from his history?
has rachel fuller convinced him that he needs to fully support her, that his contributions to music now must be from the production/promotional aspect of the business and only playing bit parts on other people's albums?

somebody suggested they release an album(s) containing unreleased/different versions of their songs.
i know not many people are springsteen fans here but he did just that a few years back and he had some very good material on it.
i think it would do good amongst all the who fans if they did just that.

I wouldn't be too enthusiastic about an album with different versions of old songs. Smells too much like yet another compilation. We will get different versions if they go on with their remastering anyway....
And then: how many more and substantially different versions can there be that we don't have on some boot or other....

Pete's comments at Cardiff - stating that the whole new album thing had pretty much ground to a halt - makes it highly unlikely the band are in the studio. He'd have to go away and write some material for a start!
Pete will no doubt spend some of this downtime on the Med with his yacht team - which he said at Cardiff is a very expensive hobby to fund so he HAS to work these days.
To be honest, unless he is motivated to do it, a new album won't be worth a damn. He's well out of the loop when it comes to recording original material and seems happier updating The Who's back catalogue. Let's face it, it's easier work! He's also got his autobiography on the go - that's probabaly ground to a halt too. Add to the mix his work with Rachel Fuller, and the probabality that The Who will gig some more this year and certainly next year (more festivals?) and the windows of opportunity become smaller and smaller.

And then: how many more and substantially different versions can there be that we don't have on some boot or other.... then again when springsteen did this it was the first time that he had ever released different versions of pre-released songs. now on the other hand im almost positive there is a backlog of unreleased songs that they could release.....and again it would probably not be a chart success but will almost certainly sell to who fans. |

perhaps we can live vicariously thru the fans who are going to see them play for the first time in australia and japan who will see them play certain songs live for the first time ever.
until i see a new worthwhile studio album from the who2
i am convinced that townshend has lost his genius.
his nerve to record new material is shot, i am totally convinced that he is scared to go into the studio.
all the talk about a new who album and all we get are two debatably good songs on an edited compilation album. what the f is that all about.

It may be that they don't think it's any good. They did say they'd give it a crack and if it didn't work they wouldn't release it. |

now i remember matt asking on pt.com if anyone had some old tapes or recordings to contact him via the site.
so maybe something is in store as far as releasing some older material/concert recordings.

You have to take into account that ORW and RGLB most likely aren't representative of what any new Who album would sound like. One song is almost 10 years old, the other 3 or 4. The fact that these were released as 'new' songs gives some insight as to how well Pete has been writing for the modern incarnation of The Who, and maybe this is why no album is forthcoming. |

Maybe they could compromise and take a portable studio on tour so they can record an album at the same time? keep them off the streets! ;D  |

Yes it's obligatory. BTW whatever happened to Emma Townshend,she released an album about 6 or 7 years ago,though I don't think it was through having a famous dad |
