Produced by Chris Thomas, Empty Glass was Townshend's second solo album released in April 1980. The songs largely deal with issues he was struggling with at the time. This reissue has been mastered by Jon Astley and cut at half-speed on 180-gram vinyl by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. Packaged in original sleeves with obi strips and a certificate of authenticity, it also includes a full-color inner bag with poster and lyrics. Limited Edition.
