Personnel: Pete Townshend (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Peter Hope-Evans (harmonica); Virginia Astley (piano); Chris Stainton (keyboards); John Lewis (Fairlight CMI); Tony Butler (bass); Mark Brzezicki, Simon Phillips (drums); Jody Linscott (percussion); Polli Palmer (tuned percussion). Recorded at Eel Pie Studio, A.I.R. Studios, Wessex Studios, London. All tracks have been digitally remastered. While Pete Townshend's 1982 solo release, ALL THE BEST COWBOYS HAVE CHINESE EYES, wasn't as stellar as its predecessor (1980's EMPTY GLASS), several tracks easily stand among his best solo work. Townshend had just successfully conquered his life-threatening alcoholism and drug addiction, so CHINESE EYES was the first album in a long time that he did completely sober. Again, Townshend worked with producers Chris Thomas and Bill Price (known for their work with the Sex Pistols and the Pretenders), who give the songs more pop flavor than an expected punk edge. Highlights include the quirky "Face Dances Part Two" (an early MTV favorite), the beautiful yet haunting album-closing "Slit Skirts," "The Sea Refuses No River," and "Somebody Saved Me."
