August 18th, 1978 - 43 years ago today, the '
Who Are You' album is released. This was to be final album recorded by the original band line-up - three weeks after it's release, Keith Moon was dead
Ironically, the album cover featured Mooney sitting on a chair containing the words 'Not To Be Taken Away'. Photographer Terry O'Neil had insisted he sat with the back of the chair facing the camera so as to hide his distended stomach, a result of his alcoholism
It was the first album that featured a track that wasn't recorded by all four members of the band. Keith struggled with the complex 6/8 time signature on the song
'Music Must Change', so his drums were removed completely from the track, and replaced with the sound of footsteps and a few cymbal crashes
