Two Sides of the Moon

Encyclopedia : T : TW : TWO : Two Sides of the Moon

Two Sides Of the Moon is the only solo album from the original drummer from The Who- Keith Moon. Surprisingly, rather than using the album as a chance to showcase his legendary drumming skill, he chose to sing on all the songs. He only drums on "Crazy Like A Fox", "The Kids Are Alright" and "Move Over Ms. L". The album features contributions from Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, Joe Walsh, Jim Keltner, Bobby Keys, Klaus Voorman, John Sebastian, Mark Volman & Howard Kaylan of The Turtles, Spencer Davis, Dick Dale and Suzi Quatro's sister Patti.

Keith Moon was inspired to release a solo album after bandmates John Entwistle and Roger Daltrey both released solo albums. With Pete Townshend soon to write a solo album, Keith decided to make one too. Keith, a big fan Beach Boys style Surf-Rock decided to make a cover album, with help from his good friend Ringo Starr. The album was widely considered a joke, with Keith showing his poor singing voice, and received many bad reviews.

Keith was not disuaded by the reviews, and started work on another simular album. The album was never finished, though. Two Sides of the Moon was re-released by Repertoire Records in 1997, including the finished songs that Keith had made for his next album.

Two Sides... was again re-released by Castle Music and Sanctuary Records in July, 2006, as a two-disc Deluxe Edition, featuring the original 10 songs plus 41 bonus tracks.
