(“who’s next” is the 5th studio album by english rock band “the who”)
.
It developed from the aborted lifehouse project, a ‘multimedia rock opera’ written by the group’s ‘pete townshend’ as a follow-up to the band’s 1969 album ‘tommy’)
(the project was cancelled due to its ‘complexity’ and conflicts with ‘kit lambert’ (the band’s ‘manager’), but ‘townshend’ was persuaded to record the songs as a ‘straightforward studio album’)
(‘the who’ recorded who’s next with assistance from recording engineer ‘glyn johns’)
(after producing the song “won’t get fooled again” in the ‘rolling stones mobile studio’, they relocated to ‘olympic studios’ to record and mix most of the album’s remaining songs)
(they made prominent use of the ‘synthesizer’ on the ‘album’, particularly on “won’t get fooled again” and “baba o’riley”, which were both released as ‘singles’)
(the ‘cover photo’ was shot by ‘ethan russell’ and made reference to the ‘monolith’ in the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey, as it featured group members having urinated against a concrete piling protruding from a ‘slag heap’)
(“who’s next was an immediate success when it was released in ‘august 1971’)
(it has since been viewed by many critics as *the who’s best record* and 1 of the *greatest albums of all time*)
.
(it was reissued on ‘CD’ several times with additional songs originally intended for “lifehouse”)
