Vinyl LP pressing. Half-speed mastering. The Iron Man: The Musical by Pete Townshend is an adaptation of Ted Hughes' story, The Iron Man, produced and largely composed and performed by Pete Townshend of The Who. It also stars Roger Daltrey, Deborah Conway, John Lee Hooker and Nina Simone. Released in 1989, it was Townshend's fifth studio album and features the singles, "A Friend Is A Friend" and "I Won't Run Anymore." The three then-surviving original members of The Who (Daltrey, John Entwistle and Townshend) performed as a group in two songs, "Dig" and "Fire," although the latter was a cover of The Crazy World of Arthur Brown's hit. This LP is pressed on 180g black vinyl and engineered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios using a half-speed mastering technique which produces a superior vinyl cut.
